Bear Token

What are Bearer Tokens and token_type in OAuth 2? - Stack Overflow

Bearer can be simply understood as "give access to the bearer of this token." One valid token and no question asked. On the other hand, if you choose Mac and sign_type (default hmac-sha-1 on most implementation), the access token is generated and kept as secret in Key Manager as an attribute, and an encrypted secret is sent back as access_token.
