 ### Holder Setup
 
-Prior to the issuer creating a new JWP, it must have presentation binding information provided by the holder.  This enables the holder to perform replay prevention while presenting the JWP.
-
-The presentation key used by the holder must be transferred to the issuer and verified, likely through a challenge and self-signing mechanism.  If the holder requires unlinkability, it must also generate a new key that is verified and bound to each new JWP.
+Prior to the issuer creating a new JWP, the issuer MUST have a presentation public key provided by the holder.
 
-How these holder presentation keys are transferred and verified is out of scope of this specification. Protocols such as OpenID Connect can be used to accomplish this.  What is required by this definition is that the holder's presentation key MUST be included in the issuer's protected header using the `presentation_jwk` parameter with a JWK as the value.
+The holder's presentation key MUST be included in the issuer's protected header using the Presentation Key header parameter.
 
 ### Issuer Setup
 
 To use the MAC algorithm, the issuer must have a stable public key pair to perform signing.  To start the issuance process, a single 32-byte random Shared Secret must first be generated.  This value will be shared privately to the holder as part of the issuer's JWP proof value.
 
 The Shared Secret is used by both the issuer and holder as the MAC method's key to generate a new set of unique ephemeral keys.  These keys are then used as the input to generate a MAC that protects each payload.
 
-### Issuer Protected Header {#issuer-protected-header}

-The holder's presentation key JWK MUST be included in the issuer protected header using the `presentation_jwk` parameter.  The issuer MUST validate that the holder has possession of this key through a trusted mechanism such as verifying the signature of a unique nonce value from the holder.
-
 ### Combined MAC Representation
 
 The combined MAC representation is a single octet string representing the MAC values of the issuer protected header, along with each payload provided by the issuer. This representation is signed by the issuer, but not shared - parties will recreate this octet string and verify the signature to verify the integrity of supplied issuer protected header and the integrity of any disclosed payloads.
