Roman, I think you can close your discuss. The latest version of the document has trimmed out everything to do with countersignatures except that there was one previously and it has been dropped from this document and put into a new document.

Per “Abbreviated counter signatures use the structure COSE_Countersign1”, this doesn’t seem consistent with the more detailed write-up in Section 5.2 which says that “The byte string representing the signature value is placed in the CounterSignature0 attribute”. The document makes no other reference to COSE_Countersign1. The shepherd write-up notes that ‘one item to note is the decision to keep the context string "COSE_Countersign1" for abbreviated countersignatures’. However, I found no such reference in Step 1 of Section 4.4 (page 22) which enumerated the possible strings. ** What is the intended name of the structure for the Counter Signature -- is it COSE_Countersignature or COSE_Countersign? -- Table 1, Section 2, Section 4.4 and Section 5.1 (to include the CDDL) reference COSE_Countersignature but -- Section 5. Per “Full counter signatures use the structure COSE_Countersign …” -- Section 5.1. Per “A tagged COSE_Countersign structure …” _______________________________________________ COSE mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cose
