The AUTHORIZATION ALIAS parameter allows a small alias to be associated with a larger AUTHORIZATION INFO payload, such as a token. This reduces message wireline size and token processing time (decryption etc) when future operations (such as rapid subscriptions and fetches) wish to reapply the same token.

Also removes the restriction that AUTHORIZATION INFO is an ASCII string.


If an AUTHORIZATION ALIAS is received without first having been associated with an
AUTHORIZATION INFO in that session, then the receiver SHALL process the parameter
set as if no AUTHORIZATION INFO had been included.

Individual Comment:

Would it be better to define a structure for Auth Info that has an optional alias? If we allow sending > 1 AUTH (#722), then there's no safe way to correlate them.
