Hi guys,

after reading through the feedback, we did a pass over the OAuth signature
proposals.

As a reminder, there are three documents:

- a document (called "JSON Tokens") that just explains how to sign something
and verify the signature:
http://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1kv6Oz_HRnWa0DaJx_SQ5Qlk_yqs_7zNAm75-FmKwNo4

- an extension of JSON Tokens that can be used for signed OAuth
tokens:<http://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1JUn3Twd9nXwFDgi-fTKl-unDG_ndyowTZW8OWX9HOUU>
http://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1JUn3Twd9nXwFDgi-fTKl-unDG_ndyowTZW8OWX9HOUU

- a different extension of JSON Tokens that can be used whenever the spec
calls for an "assertion":
http://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1s4kjRS9P0frG0ulhgP3He01ONlxeTwkFQV_pCoOowzc
(When used in the assertion flow, this last token can also be used to do
"2-legged" OAuth)

A summary of the (scant) changes:

- we spelled out what we mean by RSA-SHA256.* Ben Laurie *- can you
double-check that that sounds good?
- we decided on unpadded websafe-base64 throughout.
- some changes to parameter names.
- some small changes I might be forgetting now...

As explained in my message to the previous thread, there is still no
envelope in there to help with encrypted tokens (b/c we don't understand
well enough what the envelopes for encrypted tokens would look like).

One question: What's the deal with having the signature go first? If you can
explain to me why that is a good idea, I'm happy to oblige.

Cheers,

Dirk & Marius.
