- secp256r1 is supported and included in Figure 9. Fig 4? Are you maybe reading 
some old version?



- C509 is CBOR encoding of X509. It follows X.509 and does should not really go 
into security aspects of the algs. Also note that the signature would be made 
by a CA, not an IoT device.

Subject: Re: [COSE] Conditional call for adoption: 
draft-mattsson-cose-cbor-cert-compress

Dear colleagues:

I think considering ways to represent certificates more efficiently may be 
useful, where this draft could be a possible starting point to work from.

I have not yet read the entire draft, but am wondering about some of the 
underlying philosophies, where, e.g.,
(a) in Fig. 4 (CBOR Cert Public Key Algorithms), NIST curve P-256 is not 
supported, whereas curves isomorphic to Curve25519 are, which seems to be 
inconsistent;
(b) in Fig. 3 (CBOR Cert Signature Algorithms), EdDSA is supported, whereas 
this deterministic scheme is known to be susceptible to single-fault attacks, 
which seems to be contrary to best current practice.

The above comments should not prevent using this draft as a starting point, 
though.

Best regards, Rene

Dear all,

This message starts the conditional call for adoption of the following draft :

* draft-mattsson-cose-cbor-cert-compress-08
  - 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-mattsson-cose-cbor-cert-compress-08

In previous meetings and email discussions, we have already discussed this 
draft on multiple occasions. It appears to us that there is significant support 
for the adoption of this document. If you have read the draft, please indicate 
whether you support its adoption as a working group item or not. As it appears 
that there is sufficient support for adopting it, we are especially interested 
in knowing if there are any objections.

Please note that the adoption of this work is dependent on the result of the 
COSE WG rechartering. If the new charter is accepted in a form that allows this 
work to be taken in COSE, the result of this adoption call will be taken into 
account.

We would like to remind you that adoption does not mean they are finished, only 
that they are an acceptable starting point.

This call will run slightly less than two weeks, ending on March 12. Please try 
to respond before that date.

Best regards,

- Matthew and Ivaylo
COSE Working Group Chairs
