# Introduction {#introduction}

Privacy Pass tokens are unlinkable authenticators that can be used to
anonymously authorize a client (see {{?ARCHITECTURE=I-D.ietf-privacypass-architecture}}). A
client possessing such a token is able to prove that it was able to get a token
issued by a token issuer -- based on some check from a token issuer, such as
authentication or solving a CAPTCHA -- without allowing the relying party
redeeming the client's token (the origin) to link it with issuance flow.
anonymously authorize a client (see {{?ARCHITECTURE=I-D.ietf-privacypass-architecture}}).
Tokens are generated by token issuers, on the basis of authentication,
attestation, or some previous action such as solving a CAPTCHA. A client
possessing such a token is able to prove that it was able to get a token
issued, without allowing the relying party redeeming the client's token
(the origin) to link it with the issuance flow.

Different types of authenticators, using different token issuance protocols, can
be used as Privacy Pass tokens.
