Subject: Re: [xri] Secure XRD Proposals
That is one way that we could have a single document that contained a base64 encoded version of the XRD and a text XML version. It can all be processed as XML safely. Effectively it is SAML Simple Sign with the http post encoding replaced by XML, to allow a un-encoded XRD to be included for apps not interested in processing the sig. The big problem is that it changes the namespace. If we use something other than XML to encode the two versions of the XRD and the sig that will increase the complexity of the client in processing it. Our thought was that as they have XML processing anyway keep with it. If we are going to introduce another wrapper then something like S/MIME or even HTML post encoding come to mind as options. Just because the XRD won't be passed as a post doesn't mean that we can't encode it that way. I am not super attached to the SXRD proposal but it is useful for comparison of the options. =jbradley On 18-Dec-08, at 1:22 PM, Sakimura Nat wrote:
