The IESG has received a request from the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption WG (cose) to consider the following document: - 'CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE): Initial Algorithms' <draft-ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-algs-08.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2020-05-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format designed for small code size and small message size. There is a need for the ability to have basic security services defined for this data format. This document defines the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) protocol. This specification describes how to create and process signatures, message authentication codes, and encryption using CBOR for serialization. COSE additionally describes how to represent cryptographic keys using CBOR. In this specification the conventions for the use of a number of cryptographic algorithms with COSE. The details of the structure of COSE are defined in [I-D.ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-struct]. This document along with [I-D.ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-struct] obsoletes RFC8152. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-algs/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ COSE mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cose
