Hi,

In LAKE yesterday we had a discussion on compact key identifiers. The main candidate to use, 'kid', is specified as a CBOR bstr, which is typically at least 2 bytes (exception: empty bstr which is 1 byte). We therefore want to allow keys to be identified with CBOR ints which has 48 1-byte values to allow for a larger number of optimally small identifiers.

One solution would be to define a new COSE key common parameter and COSE header parameter, say 'kid2', of type bstr / int. Another solution would be to extend 'kid' to be bstr / int.

In the former case a 'kid2' can be used to reference keys identified with either 'kid2' or 'kid', but 'kid' would not be able to reference keys identified with 'kid2' having an int value. Not clear to me if that is a problem. 

While the LAKE WG did not express any preference, one opinion I learnt after the meeting was a preference of extending 'kid' to bstr / int.

What do folks in COSE think?

I'm familiar with the process of registering new COSE parameters, what is the requirement for changing the value type of an existing registration? Standards action with expert review?

Thanks
Göran
