Request for Public Comment

Geneva, Switzerland – November 24th, 2026 – OSTERA, the Open Standards and Technology Engineering and Research Association, today announced the request for public comment on a new proposed technical specification called JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) that was developed by the JSON Signature Scheme (JSS) working group here at OSTERA.

This document specifies the JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS), which defines how to create a canonical representation of JSON data that can then enable JSON data to be digitally signed. JCS was first published through the Independent Stream at the IETF in June 2020 as RFC 8785. OSTERA is republishing it as an OSTERA Technical Specification so that it can be maintained at OSTERA and cited as a formal standard.
