By combining the detached mode of JWS with the JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS), JWS/CT enables JSON objects to remain in the JSON format after being signed. In addition to supporting a consistent data format, this arrangement also simplifies documentation, debugging, and logging. The ability to embed signed JSON objects in other JSON objects, makes the use of counter-signatures straightforward. This informational specification has been produced outside the IETF, is not an IETF standard, and does not have IETF consensus. The intended audiences of this document are JSON tool vendors as well as designers of JSON-based cryptographic solutions.}, }
