The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-cose/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think this is one of the recharters that is appropriate for external review before approval. Thanks for that. I see "resistant to quantum computing" a lot these days, but is this actually "resistant to attacks based on quantum-computing capabilities", or something like that? I mean, quantum computers do have other uses, I hope :-) This text "At the time COSE was developed, there was a sense that X.509 certificates was not a feature that needed to be transferred from the JOSE key document (RFC 7517). Since that time a better sense of how certificates would be used both in the IoT sphere and with COSE outside of the IoT sphere has been developed. The need to be able to identify X.509 certificates is now a feature that needs to be provided. This will additionally require definition of a small number of hash functions for compact references to certificates." alternates between "X.509 certificates" (twice) and "certificates" with no adjective (twice). If there's no difference intended, it may be useful to be consistent. _______________________________________________ COSE mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cose
