[dispatch] JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) Proposal

[Bret Jordan <[e-mail]>]

Dispatch,

During IETF 104 there were several meetings and sessions about the proposed JCS solution. This JCS solution defines a way to canonicalize JSON data to enable hash-able JSON. After listening to and working through most of the concerns that were raised, there seems to be some significant interest and use-cases for moving this work forward.

We respectfully request that DISPATCH look at this work and determine where it would best fit in the IETF.  We would also like to request that DISPATCH add this to the next interim or full meeting.  

The current draft can be found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rundgren-json-canonicalization-scheme-05 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rundgren-json-canonicalization-scheme-05>

Further, many successful implementations for several different platforms as well as a public "playground" https://mobilepki.org/jws-jcs/home have been created to show that this not only works, but is pretty easy to implement. 

Personally I know many organizations and solutions that desperately need this for production.   Thank you for your consideration. 


Thanks,
Bret
