Is there a RESTful standard for digital signatures (NOT authentication/authorization)?

I’m pretty sure I saw @manusporny post something about this a while ago, perhaps related to Web ID. Sorry, my memory is crap.

Thanks, but REST doesn't have to imply JSON... (To the contrary, it implies conneg: blog.ploeh.dk/2015/06/22/res…)

JWS is a header based signature. It can secure any payload. The only JSON is the header format

I didn't get that. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll be taking a second look :)

Still don’t see anything particularly RESTful or HTTP-related in JWS. Orthogonal concepts.

I agree that JWS has little to do with REST but it doesn't violate any constraints. @ploeh @asbjornu @manusporny

I agree a more abstract concept would be nice. But you need format coupling for normalisation. @ploeh @darrel_miller @manusporny
