Based on Carsten's input, CBOR Core now refers to embedded signatures. This is also the definition used for PDF files which is a major application using embedded signatures. Embedded signatures is a logical choice for designs where the document/message/application is king.
What's missing is a unique label for the embedded signature object, like simple(88). Having an application-defined label is certainly not a showstopper but it would be cool being able to write sign(applicationObject) rather than sign(embeddedSignatureLabel, applicationObject) Cheers, Anders -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: New Version Notification for draft-rundgren-cbor-core-05.txt Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 20:15:00 -0700 From: internet-dra...@ietf.org To: Anders Rundgren <anders.rundgren....@gmail.com> A new version of Internet-Draft draft-rundgren-cbor-core-05.txt has been successfully submitted by Anders Rundgren and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-rundgren-cbor-core Revision: 05 Title: CBOR Core (CBOR/c) Date: 2025-04-14 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 32 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-rundgren-cbor-core-05.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rundgren-cbor-core/ HTML: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-rundgren-cbor-core-05.html HTMLized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-rundgren-cbor-core Diff: https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url2=draft-rundgren-cbor-core-05 Abstract: This document defines CBOR Core (CBOR/c), a profile of CBOR (RFC 8949) intended to serve as a viable replacement for JSON in computationally advanced systems like Internet browsers, mobile phones, and Web servers. To foster interoperability, deterministic encoding is mandated. Furthermore, the document outlines how deterministic encoding combined with enhanced CBOR tools, enable cryptographic methods like signing and hashing, to optionally use "raw" (non-wrapped) CBOR data as input. This document mainly targets CBOR tool developers.
