Show HN: Coze – cryptographic JSON messaging specification

Coze is open source under the BSD 3 license, and the reference implementation is written in Go. You can play with Coze using the online tool (https://cyphr.me/coze). There is also the simple tool (https://cyphr.me/coze_verifier_simple/coze.html). This is an example coze: { "pay": { "msg": "Coze Rocks", "alg": "ES256", "iat": 1623132000, "tmb": "cLj8vsYtMBwYkzoFVZHBZo6SNL8wSdCIjCKAwXNuhOk", "typ": "cyphr.me/msg" }, "sig": "Jl8Kt4nznAf0LGgO5yn_9HkGdY3ulvjg-NyRGzlmJzhncbTkFFn9jrwIwGoRAQYhjc88wmwFNH5u_rO56USo_w" } Coze also defines a key format allowing cryptographic keys to be represented completely in JSON: { "alg":"ES256", "iat":1623132000, "kid":"Zami's Majuscule Key.", "tmb":"cLj8vsYtMBwYkzoFVZHBZo6SNL8wSdCIjC

Coze can be used for anything needing cryptographic signing, such as IoT, authentication, sessions, and cookies. As a timely example, reddit.com/u/spez, the CEO of Reddit, edited people's comments on Reddit. (https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-stev...) Coze stops that as cozies are impossible to edit by third parties.

Now that there's less eyeballs on this. Here's our open source JWT alternative: https://github.com/Cyphrme/Coze. We've got a roadmap in using that to build alternatives to FIDO. Please feel free to message me with questions or anything else and I will detail our plans. Before competing against FIDO, the libraries need to be far more ergonomic. Coze is a good start. > I’m absolutely willing to help any project with these goals. We would love your help.
In Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit to expanded support for FIDO standard
