The IESG has received a request from the Web Authorization Protocol WG (oauth) to consider the following document: - 'JSON Web Token (JWT)' <draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token-25.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 2014-09-03. 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 JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a JWT are encoded as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or MACed and/or encrypted. The suggested pronunciation of JWT is the same as the English word "jot". The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1968/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1964/
