Abstract:

   The purpose of determinism is to ensure that semantically equivalent
   data items are encoded into identical byte streams.  CBOR (RFC 8949)
   defines "Deterministically Encoded CBOR" in its Section 4.2, but
   leaves some important choices up to the application developer.  The
   present document specifies dCBOR, a set of narrowing rules for CBOR
   that can be used to help achieve interoperable deterministic encoding
   for a variety of applications desiring a narrow and clearly defined
   set of choices.
