Re: [ba-standard] Considering the Open Badges crypto tech stack

@Kerri @all (reposted)

We had a deep conversation during our last Credentials Community Call on
Nov 25, 2014.  May I suggest that you read the minutes (listen to audio
reply) that can be found here: http://www.w3.org/community/credentials/

IMHO, trying to support more than one signature type would not be the best
course of action because it would make implementations really complicated.
I expect the CCG to continue to evaluate the technical merits of JOSE and
SM methodologies, but more importantly their applicability to
micro-credentials.

Thanks for the input.
