Subject: Draft -01 of JSON Crypto Specs: JWS, JWE, JWK, JWA, JWS-JS, JWE-JS

New versions of the JSON Object Signing and Encryption 
(JOSE)<http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jose/> specifications are now available 
that incorporate working group feedback since publication of the initial 
versions.  They are:

*         JSON Web Signature (JWS) - Digital signature/HMAC specification

*         JSON Web Encryption (JWE) - Encryption specification

*         JSON Web Key (JWK) - Public key specification

*         JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) - Algorithms and identifiers specification

The most important changes are:

*         Added a separate integrity check for encryption algorithms without an 
integral integrity check.

*         Defined header parameters for including JWK public keys and X.509 
certificate chains directly in the header.
See the Document History section in each specification for a more detailed list 
of changes.

Corresponding versions of the JSON Serialization specs, which use these JOSE 
drafts, are also available.  Besides using JSON Serializations of the 
cryptographic results (rather than Compact Serializations using a series of 
base64url encoded values), these specifications also enable multiple digital 
signatures and/or HMACs to applied to the same message and enable the same 
plaintext to be encrypted to multiple recipients.  They are:

*         JSON Web Signature JSON Serialization (JWS-JS)

*         JSON Web Encryption JSON Serialization (JWE-JS)

These specifications are available at:

*         http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature-01

*         http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-encryption-01
