The current draft says:

[RFC7521] defines a way for a client to include an assertion in a token request to an authorization server for the purposes of client authentication. This specification extends this mechanism to provide a way for a client instance to authenticate it self with the authorization server through an attested key based authentication scheme.

I don't like the description of a "an attested key based authentication scheme", as key attestations are not always possible and it is more about attesting the wallet and the key being a mechanism.

I would rather describe the current approach as a

  • remote client (instance) attestation scheme
  • remote wallet (instance) attestation scheme
