So we have been working with Nat on the signature proposal and talking to Nat 
he agrees that the JWT proposal is well under way, what I would like to make 
sure is that we merged in with your proposal

I'm just as confused :-) I think what happened is that I posted a signature 
draft and then didn't follow up. Nat then very kindly agreed to help and put 
out a draft, but that also didn't get much momentum. So I went back and re-did 
my drafts. Also, somewhere along the way, Yoran wrote a draft. At least that's 
what it looks like from where I'm sitting. I might be getting it wrong (maybe 
Yoran's draft represents a merge of his and Nat's thinking? - I'm not sure).

At any rate, of course we need to end up with one proposal in the end. I'm 
fairly agnostic about the details, but I believe the following should be true 
about any merged proposal:

- very limited number of options for signature algorithms, key representations 
(should not require more than 10..20 lines of code in your given platform, 
without any additional library, to implement signature and key parsing).
- must support both public and symmetric keys.
- should not have security flaws

I'm a bit confused between the relationship of Nat's I-D and the documents you 
and Mike recently posted. Is the goal to have one I-D? Nat's seems to have 
fewer options and different modes which makes it easier to read and understand.

BTW, Nat and I, as mentioned below, are talking. Here is my current draft. 
Please keep in mind that it's really just a set of notes trying to capture all 
the issues involved in creating a secure token format so it's a bit dense. My 
hope is that once all the issues are captured it can be completely re-written 
to be in something that looks more like English and is easier for actual 
implementers to follow. But for now I think it gives a good sense of the some 
of the security challenges in creating a secure token format.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] OAuth Signature Draft Pre 00

Hi.

It has been a few weeks since then I volunteered to do this work.
I have written up to this pre 00 draft then have been doing some reality checks 
on some script languages etc.

No. This pre-00 draft is far from being feature complete.
I still need to copy and paste the Magic Signatures text etc.
Also, I should add how this spec is being used in some of the major flows.

However, since I will not be able to work on it this week, I thought it would 
be worthwhile to share this early draft so that you have some clarity into the 
progress.

Apparently, Yaron has been working on it as well. We will compare the notes and 
try to merge, I hope.

So, here it is!

#For those of you who have seen the private draft, it has not been changed 
since July 31.

Best,

=nat
