Re: [Ace] [COSE] Call for adoption for draft-wahlstroem-ace-cbor-web-token-00

[Justin Richer <[e-mail]>]

+1 for adoption, but please remove the "web" from the name.

One of the main features of JSON Web Tokens, from which this is 
inspired, is that it can be passed without any additional encoding in 
HTTP headers, parameters, forms, strings, etc. It's built for the "web" 
from the ground up.

The same is not true of the COSE-based token format here. It's designed 
for CoAP and other embedded systems that can speak the CBOR encoding 
natively. You could argue that this is the "web" in a sense but I think 
that it's misleading to implementors to claim such.

Therefore I strongly encourage the authors and ACE WG to drop the "web" 
from the name, leaving simply the COSE Token.
