CBOR certainly was designed with the knowledge that JOSE was going to be available.
Preliminary analysis indicated that an adaptation of JOSE to CBOR should be possible with a limited amount of work.
So our plan here at TZI is to contribute to that work as soon as the work on JOSE is completed.

Maybe we can have a short hallway meeting in Toronto between people interested in this space.

(I’m not particularly fond of calling CBOR a “binary JSON”, but I read this usage here as a shorthand for “a binary-capable representation format in the spirit of the JSON data model”, which CBOR is.)
