The IESG has received a request from the Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments WG (ace) to consider the following document: - 'CBOR Web Token (CWT)' <draft-ietf-ace-cbor-web-token-12.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-03-06. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract CBOR Web Token (CWT) is a compact means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a CWT are encoded in the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) is used for added application layer security protection. A claim is a piece of information asserted about a subject and is represented as a name/value pair consisting of a claim name and a claim value. CWT is derived from JSON Web Token (JWT) but uses CBOR rather than JSON. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-cbor-web-token/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-cbor-web-token/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
