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:
Additionally, @simoneonofri is gathering reviewers to do a more thorough review of the JOSE-COSE specification during the Candidate Recommendation phase.
Liaisons:
There are participants' overlap with the following groups:
RDF Canonicalization and Hashing Working Group
Decentralized Identifier Working Group
Credentials Community Group

Internet Engineering Task Force Crypto Forum Research Group
Hyperledger Aries
Decentralized Identity Foundation Interoperability Working Group
IMS Global
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17/WG 10
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17/WG 4
Web of Things Working Group

APA Working Group

National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Department of Commerce
DHS actively engaged w/ NIST over VCWG + Justin Richer NIST SP 800-63-C work
The American Civil Liberties Union
Presentations given to ACLU and CDT over the years via PING and other venues
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.

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.
