#103: Rename "alg" to avoid future collision problems
Comment (by [email protected]): Renaming "alg" to "int" would be a breaking change for every JWS and every JWT, with no commensurate benefit. The premise of this pre-supposes reopening the already (twice!) decided issue #2 (No key management for MAC). Given that the working group has already decided not to do this, it should be up to those proposing this as future work to propose syntax for this new feature at that time in a way that doesn't break what already exists. We certainly shouldn't make breaking changes now for an eventuality that may never occur. -- -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: draft-ietf-jose-json-web- [email protected] | [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: json-web- | Version: signature | Resolution: Severity: - | Keywords: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/jose/trac/ticket/103#comment:1> jose <http://tools.ietf.org/jose/> _______________________________________________ jose mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/jose
