Abstract:

   This document describes a protocol for identifying automated traffic
   using [HTTP-MESSAGE-SIGNATURES].  The goal is to allow automated HTTP
   clients to cryptographically sign outbound requests, allowing HTTP
   servers to verify their identity with confidence.

   It defines the Signature-Agent header field for in-band key
   discovery, a key directory format based on JWKS, and a well-known URI
   at which that directory is served.
