Description

Some PEPs accept requests with accessTokens issued by multiple Authorization servers. In order for them to use the correct handler and introspection endpoint, they need some meta data, like the issuer of the accessToken. This could be achieved by embedding the secret string into a JWT which allows for some extra claims.
