Using RSA Algorithms with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption Messages

Overview

RFC 8230, “Using RSA Algorithms with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption Messages”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2017 by M. Jones. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) specification defines cryptographic message encodings using Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR). This specification defines algorithm encodings and representations enabling RSA algorithms to be used for COSE messages. Encodings are specified for the use of RSA Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSASSA-PSS) signatures, RSA Encryption Scheme - Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (RSAES-OAEP) encryption, and RSA keys.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
