CBOR Web Token (CWT) is a compact means of representing claims to be
transferred between two parties. The claims in a CWT are encoded in
the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), and CBOR Object
Signing and Encryption (COSE) is used for added application-layer
security protection. A claim is a piece of information asserted
about a subject and is represented as a name/value pair consisting of
a claim name and a claim value. CWT is derived from JSON Web Token
(JWT) but uses CBOR rather than JSON.
This document is a product of the Authentication and Authorization for
Constrained Environments Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
