Abstract

Status

Link to group's decision to request transition

Changes

This is the first Candidate Recommendation for the first Recommendation attempt for this specification. It does not have a changelog other than the changes since FPWD, which can be found here:

https://github.com/w3c/vc-jose-cose/commits/main/?until=2024-04-03

Requirements satisfied

Yes.

Dependencies met (or not)

The normative dependencies are on the VC Data Model which is in CR.

There are also dependencies on the IETF work on the SD-JWT primitives listed in the Normative References section of the specification:

It is critical that these normative references reach an IETF RFC state before this specification can proceed to the Proposed Recommendation state.

Extra Note: Media type registration

There are a number of media type cited in the document. These are not yet registered by IETF,
and we anticipate reviewer questions as on the CR transition request for VCDM.
At the time, @msporny gave an answer, referring to the
discussion within IETF regarding multiple-suffix media types.

Unfortunately, the discussion at IETF 119 did not result in a clear decision. There is now a separate discussion
by the VC Working Group about their best approach; whatever they decide for the VC Data Model will likely affect the JOSE-COSE specification, too.
