I'm developing a new API and considering authentication methods. I've heard of bearer and PoP tokens, but I'm not sure if they are suitable for my API. Should I adopt these token types for my new API?

This approach allows existing clients to continue using Bearer tokens while new clients or those undergoing migration can adopt PoP tokens.

One effective way to protect a new API is by using Proof of Possession (PoP) exclusively.

This method requires clients to generate PoP tokens, which serve as proof that they possess a private key associated with a particular public key.

For developers upgrading an existing API, it is advisable to support both Bearer and PoP tokens for a transitional period.
