FYI.

This has been posted to Secdispatch, and I thought CBOR and COSE might want to 
take a look. (Feel free to reply to the original thread in Secdispatch, to keep 
the conversation in one place).

Subject: [Secdispatch] Ciphertext format draft

Hi, we just submitted draft-sheffer-ietf-ciphertext-format-01 [1]. This is a 
CBOR-based set of headers for encrypted data, with the goal of enabling 
automation of large datasets that contain encrypted data, typically 
interspersed with plain data. Specifically we want to facilitate discovery of 
encrypted data (e.g., this database column contains ciphertext) and attributing 
this data back to the service that created the data and the key that was used 
to encrypt it.

We received good feedback on the SAAG list to change from generic TLV to CBOR, 
which we implemented in -01.

The authors would appreciate this list’s feedback regarding next steps.

Thanks,
                Yaron
