Hi Guys, I have tried to the best of my ability to collect and comment on the issues raised during the 3 meetings held at IETF-104: https://cyberphone.github.io/ietf-json-canon/ietf-104-report.html I have just been made aware of that IETF's maybe most ambitious effort creating signed HTTP requests[1] was shot down, making another, less known scheme[2] to some people's dismay turning into a de-facto standard for (at least) Open Banking. Why was it shot down? Because it wouldn't work reliable in inferior server configurations which IMO sounds like a pretty unreasonable requirement. Yes, JCS also won't work satisfactory in every possible scenario but it is clearly stated what the lower bar is: - JSON Numbers MUST conceptually be treated as IEEE-754 double precision data during parsing/serialization - JSON Strings MUST (modulo escaping) be treated as immutable during parsing/serialization The rest is close to trivial. Thanx, Anders 1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-signed-http-request/ 2] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cavage-http-signatures/
