a case for the protected header usage #4

Closed thomas-fossati closed 2 months ago

thomas-fossati commented 1 year ago

As discussed, there may be a use case for "non-countersignature" uses of the header:

graph TB
  C["COSE thing"]
  MI["RFC3161.messageImprint"]
  payload -- hash --> MI 
  MI -- RFC3161 --> TST
  TST -- protected hdr --> C
  payload --> C

This is now incorporated as Timestamp-Then-COSE (TTC) mode.
