Security Secure Patterns for Internet CrEdentials COSE CBOR Object Signing and Encryption CWT CBOR Web Token Claims This document defines claims to support traceability of physical goods across supply chains, focusing on items such as bills of lading, transport modes, and container manifests. These claims standardize the encoding of essential logistics and transport metadata, facilitating enhanced transparency and accountability in global supply chains. These claims are registered for use in both CBOR Web Tokens (CWTs) and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). About This Document The latest revision of this draft can be found at . Status information for this document may be found at . Discussion of this document takes place on the Secure Patterns for Internet CrEdentials Working Group mailing list (), which is archived at .

Introduction This document defines a set of claims intended to enable the traceability of physical goods across various stages of transportation and storage. These claims capture critical information necessary for documenting the movement of goods in supply chains, thereby supporting regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. These claims are defined for both CBOR Web Tokens (CWTs) and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) . These claims are informed by the following documents, among others: ACE Automated Broker Interface (ABI) CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) , Integrated Track and Trace for Multi-Modal Transportation , and Traceability Vocabulary v1.0: A vocabulary for traceability in supply chains . Some claims below utilize GLUE Identifiers .

Conventions and Definitions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

Example Product Information Example JWT Claims Set:

Security Considerations These claims are designed to enhance transparency in supply chain tracking but should be handled securely to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. Confidentiality and integrity of these claims must be considered, particularly when shared across untrusted or unsecured networks. Use of selective disclosure techniques and careful consideration of data minimization requirements SHOULD be considered when using these claims.

References Normative References JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a JWT are encoded as a JSON object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or integrity protected with a Message Authentication Code (MAC) and/or encrypted. CBOR Web Token (CWT) is a compact means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a CWT are encoded in the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) is used for added application-layer security protection. A claim is a piece of information asserted about a subject and is represented as a name/value pair consisting of a claim name and a claim value. CWT is derived from JSON Web Token (JWT) but uses CBOR rather than JSON. ISO ISO ISO In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings. Informative References IANA n.d. IANA n.d.
