+Homeservers MUST include an `Authorization` header, containing the `hs_token`
+from the application service's registration, when making requests to the
+application service. Application services MUST verify that the provided
+`Bearer` token matches their known `hs_token`, failing the request with
+an `M_FORBIDDEN` error if it does not match.
+
+The format of the `Authorization` header is similar to the [Client-Server API](/client-server-api/#client-authentication):
+`Bearer TheHSTokenGoesHere`.
+
+{{% boxes/note %}}
+In previous versions of this specification, an `access_token` query
+parameter was used instead. Servers should only send this query parameter
+if supporting legacy versions of the specification.
+
+If sending the `query_string`, it is encouraged to send it alongside
+the `Authorization` header for maximum compatibility.
+
+Application services should ensure both match if both are provided.
