Name: David Lee Condrey

Email: [email protected]

Media type name: application

Media subtype name: vnd.writerslogic.war+cbor

Required parameters: N/A

Optional parameters: N/A

Encoding considerations: binary

As a CBOR-encoded format, it contains NUL octets and non-line-oriented data.

Security considerations: This media type conveys the final appraisal result (verdict) of an authorship attestation. (1) It does not contain active or executable content. (2) Integrity and authenticity are provided via a COSE signature (RFC 9052) that MUST be verified against the Verifier's public key. (3) The information identifies a specific document by its content hash; privacy is managed through the referenced specification's hash-salting protocols. (4) The security considerations for CBOR (RFC 8949) and COSE (RFC 9052) apply. Users are cautioned not to rely on unsigned or unverified .war files for high-stakes authenticity claims.

Interoperability considerations: The +cbor suffix allows generic CBOR tools to identify the underlying encoding. This format is a specific profile of the RATS Attestation Result (EAR) and references a Proof of Process (.pop) evidence packet by UUID as defined in the published specification.

Published specification: https://writerslogic.com/rats/pop/spec/1.3.0/

Applications which use this media: Verification and display of authorship scores by publishers, academic repositories, literary journals, and the WritersLogic verification suite.

Fragment identifier considerations: N/A

Restrictions on usage: N/A

Provisional registration? (standards tree only): No

Additional information:

1. Deprecated alias names for this type: N/A
2. Magic number(s): 0xd957415220 (Offset 0)
3. File extension(s): .war
4. Macintosh file type code: N/A
5. Object Identifiers: Pending (Private Enterprise Number requested)

General Comments: This registration is a companion to application/vnd.writerslogic.pop+cbor. Together, these types define the input (Evidence) and output (Attestation Result) of the Proof of Process (PoP) protocol.

This format corresponds to IANA CBOR Tag 1463894560 (0x57415220). The protocol is designed to be compatible with the IETF RATS (Remote ATtestation ProcedureS) architecture, specifically implementing a profile for authorship verification. This work is being utilized for benchmarking and standardization in the PAN@CLEF 2026 competition.
