There is a difference in COSE and JOSE here: In JOSE, there is just codepoint (for code) and description (for people). However, in COSE there is also name (also for people). In practice, COSE names are usually the codepoint for matching JOSE thingy. Registering some string COSE codepoint (at least COSE algorithm names can be strings[1]) and naming it something else could get confusing. :-) [1] Of Unicode Scalar Values... -Ilari _______________________________________________ COSE mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
