I'd be open to a proposal for also supporting encryption.  The draft was intended to be a starting point for productive discussion - not a finished product.

Your thoughts?

Did you intentionally decide not to support encrypting the token?

Recognizing that there is substantial interest in representing sets of claims in JSON tokens, Yaron Goland and I have put together a draft JSON Web Token (JWT) spec for that purpose.

To answer the obvious question, while this was produced independently of Dirk's JSON token proposal<http://balfanz.github.com/jsontoken-spec/draft-balfanz-jsontoken-00.html>, both of us agree that we should come up with a unified spec.  Consider this an additional point in the possible design space from which to start discussions and drive consensus.  (If you read the two proposals, I think you'll find that there's already a lot in common, which is great.)

Thanks to those of you who have already given us feedback to improve the draft prior to this point.

                                                            Cheers,
