This document describes how to include CBOR Web Token (CWT) claims in
the header parameters of any CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
(COSE) structure. This functionality helps to facilitate applications
that wish to make use of CWT claims in encrypted COSE structures
and/or COSE structures featuring detached signatures, while having
some of those claims be available before decryption and/or without
inspecting the detached payload. Another use case is using CWT claims
with payloads that are not CWT Claims Sets, including payloads that
are not CBOR at all.

This document is a product of the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
