HI all, The newly minted Web Bot Auth WG is considering a use case for RFC 9421. However, Jonathan Hoyland and I are concerned that this authentication mechanism may be insufficient for the security of the use case. With that in mind, we'd appreciate your feedback on the following (short!) draft that defines an HTTP signature component for binding to the TLS channel: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hoypat-httpbis-message-signatures-ekm/ We're interested to know if the WG had considered TLS binding while working on RFC 9421 (I wasn't around for this process) and what the best way is to implement it. Note: We're not seeking adoption by HTTPBIS at this time. We're planning to present the draft at Web Bot Auth next week. In preparing for that presentation, we'd like to know if you all think this draft is useful and going in the right direction. Thanks in advance! Chris P.
