Stephen Farrell has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint-07: Abstain When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This draft chooses the wrong input to the hash function. Other specifications, even those that do not otherwise use ASN.1 use the SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 structure for that. I raised that point in the WG and during IETF LC but was in the rough. Nonetheless, this will I believe need to be done over later when or if there is a need to identify a public key in a cross-protocol or similar context. That's a waste of effort for no good reason. The world won't end though.
