Isn't COSE sufficient you may [rightfully] ask?
It is but since COSE is a framework, applications need to write a potentially rather 
elaborate "profile" in order to use it.

CEF is not a framework.  In addition, CEF builds on the CTAP2 CBOR canonicalization scheme making 
concepts like "protected" and "unprotected" redundant.  In CEF all data is 
protected (that can be protected).

The primary application for CEF is FIDO Web Pay 
(https://fido-web-pay.github.io/) where I intend to switch from JSON to CBOR 
for the assertion in order to save bytes and better align the system with 
FIDO/CTAP2.  FIDO signatures (assertions) already require a highly customized 
solution so using CEF wasn't a big deal :)

Thanx,
Anders
