@Gozala with #290 merged, is there more to do in this Issue?
@Gozala got a plan for moving forward with this? Do you need a place for this, do you want a new repo or can we find a home in an existing repo. Multibase has an rfcs
directory for "spec-like" things: https://github.com/multiformats/multibase/tree/master/rfcs, perhaps we could do something like that in one of the other multiformats repos?

This is already used by dag-ucan
https://github.com/ucan-wg/ucan-ipld/ https://github.com/ipld/js-dag-ucan
And there is an ongoing effort to spec out details here https://github.com/ChainAgnostic/varsig
Closing because PR with added codes had been merged
In https://github.com/ucan-wg/ucan-ipld/issues/4 we came to realize that we need self describing signatures for all the same reasons we want self describing hashes a.k.a multihashes.
Intention is to create repo with a
varsig
spec but in the meantime here is the intended formatFor that reason we would like to register:
Later will be used as secondary tag to enable custom not yet standardized signature algorithms and reduce rate of submissions here.
