I indeed borrowed the actual name "@context" from JSON-LD but it is in turn a concept already existing in XML (name space).
I would have got the same result if I have called it "@ns" since on the JSON level it is just a property.

I'm not a cryptographer so I only use what these guys have made available for general usage and is supported by languages and platforms.
There are folks working with next generation schemes and I (and most other people) have to rely on these developments.

Note that the posting was about REST, or more correct, a replacement for REST.
