Subject: [saag] COSE Status

COSE met on Tuesday afternoon.

We had a short presentation on newly proposed COSE Token work that has been raised in the ACE working group, to parallel JWT from JOSE. There was general support for doing the work, but it’s an open question on where it should happen (COSE, OAuth, and ACE are all candidate WG’s, each would require rechartering).

We had a presentation from the ACE working group that contained proposed optimizations to the COSE spec.

We reviewed the current state of the COSE specification and walked through open issues. Each issue was given a definitive action from either the editor or to start a list thread.

The chairs will call consensus on the following issues:

1) Placement of CDDL within the document

2) Specification of RSA 1.5 mechanisms

3) Specification of RSA PSS algorithms and keys

4) Adoption of the COSE Token
