Subject: Re: [xri] Datetime for ds:Signature


I just thought that from the point of view of XRD consumer, they might want to know how long ago it was signed or created.
Would they not? It may be application specific.
One generic example would be XRD signed and third party timestamped before the signers key got compromised can still be thought of as valid. Expiry date does not meet this.

Why do I care when it was signed?

I am trying to avoid changing anything around the signature processing without a very good reason.

There is Expires, but no creation date, if I am reading the draft correctly.

Don't we have timestamps and other caching info at the XRD level?

I have have a hard time seeing the value of duplicating that in the
signature itself.

Do we need a datetime for the signature?
      
Signature timestamps are a pretty "deep" topic, it's definitely not as
simple as it seems.

In any case, there's a relevant draft making its way through the W3C.
