You are correct, the sign is wrong. I will fix it.

The reason is that is up to the reciver how big a cache of nonces to use.

It is not used in Scenario #3 because the body is signed and encrypted, not
a password token.

In Scenario #2 if we are going to send an encrypted password, we should
create a model of how to do it right.

Do others disagree with me?

I assume people will write their code before they arrive, so I don't see the
advantage of this.
