CBOR Object Signing and Encryption : Header Parameters for Carrying and Referencing X.509 Certificates
RFC 9360, “CBOR Object Signing and Encryption : Header Parameters for Carrying and Referencing X.509 Certificates”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2023 by J. Schaad. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) message structure uses references to keys in general. For some algorithms, additional properties are defined that carry parameters relating to keys as needed. The COSE Key structure is used for transporting keys outside of COSE messages. This document extends the way that keys can be identified and transported by providing attributes that refer to or contain X.509 certificates.
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.
