Well that value is most likely a cryptographic signature, a "challenge" or a combination of both. Unless there's some separate payload you can't really hide arbitrary data in hashes/signatures that would be used in such a process.

In the end "could" is a very loose word, PII as such is not really part of the process. In this current (Apple's PAT) case, the information is "you have an Apple device", can't currently hide anything else in that.

Thanks for the response. As a second question, would what prevent someone with an "approved" apple device from firing off a bunch of token requests and then distributing those tokens to different entities for those entities to submit to the origin to pass the validation test?

>>helloj+wd
They could, but I'm sure there are rate-limits in place against that.

>>Avaman+M51
Good to know. And the rate limits themselves have to apply to user agents in the old style, right? Because there is no identifying information apart from current browser fingerprinting methods. If abused, do we foresee captchas having to be placed as a guard against attlestation abuse?
