The goal is to allow automated HTTP clients to cryptographically sign outbound requests, allowing HTTP servers to verify their identity with confidence. It defines the Signature-Agent header field for in-band key discovery, a key directory format based on JWKS, and a well-known URI at which that directory is served.}, }
