> Abstract:
>   Many Internet applications have a need for object-based security
>   mechanisms in addition to security mechanisms at the network layer or
>   transport layer.  In the past, the Cryptographic Message Syntax has
>   provided a binary secure object format based on ASN.1.  Over time,
>   the use of binary object encodings such as ASN.1 has been overtaken
>   by text-based encodings, for example JavaScript Object Notation.
>   This document defines a set of use cases and requirements for a
>   secure object format encoded using JavaScript Object Notation, drawn
>   from a variety of application security mechanisms currently in
>   development.
