URI Signing for Content Delivery Network Interconnection
RFC 9246, “URI Signing for Content Delivery Network Interconnection”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2022 by R. van Brandenburg, K. Leung, P. Sorber. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how the concept of URI Signing supports the content access control requirements of Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNI) and proposes a URI Signing method as a JSON Web Token (JWT) profile.
The proposed URI Signing method specifies the information needed to be included in the URI to transmit the signed JWT, as well as the claims needed by the signed JWT to authorize a User Agent (UA). The mechanism described can be used both in CDNI and single Content Delivery Network (CDN) scenarios.
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.
