Transmute supports the charter #30

We're really excited about this work, one of our areas of interests is the different ways that canonicalization can be used as input to signatures... The simple case is just signing the canonicalized representation or a hash of it.

More advanced cases sign parts of the canonicalization, and leverage those signatures together...

For example:

How these cryptographic signature algorithms work is out of scope for the charter... but I think describing the 2 different input approaches will be exciting, particularly in the context of BBS+.

Thanks @OR13. Hope to see you on the group!

I wonder if you want to add a separate use case to the explainer document. It is just a PR away :-)

Dear @OR13, the proposed charter has been substantially changed since you submitted your expression of support. More specifically, its scoped has been narrowed down, to address some concerns raised in the Semantic Web community. See also Ivan Herman's explanation of those changes on the SebWeb mailing list.

We kindly ask you to review the new version, and either

Thanks in advance

Definition of higher level protocols, like signature schemes, which is left to other groups.

I support this, and I am a member of the VC WG where such schemes may be defined assuming that the new charter there allows for it.
