Hi,

I think it is good to have a discussion regarding the name and terminology.

I think “CBOR encoded X.509 Certificates” with some suitable abbreviation would 
fit both type 0 and 1. Both use CBOR for encoding and both follow RFC 5280 
(X.509) except when it comes to DER encoding. As long as the DER<->CBOR 
encoding is one-to-one it is easy to see that the security of type 0 and type 1 
are equal.

I am not against changing the term “CBOR certificate” and saving that for 
something else that has nothing with RFC 5280 to do, but I do not understand 
the previous comment to move type 0 to another document. Given a specification 
of type 1, type 0 follows trivially.

/John
