Securing exchanges with zCaps #475

Description

Forked from #187

For exchanges, any additional security would be bootstrapped with an additional request/challenge..

So, by default they system doesn't enforce / enable other specific authorization mechanisms.

My question: how do I use zCaps to secure an exchange?

Assume I can get the zCap to the caller. That zCap contains an invocation at an exchange endpoint where they can retrieve their credential.

How do I set up the exchange to require a legitimate signed zCap?

I'll create a new issue to work on that. FWIW, it may just be implementation guide language rather than any normative changes.

What I don't want to do is allow anyone to visit that exchange. I want to require a countersigned (invoked) zCap.
