Reducing overhead for payload encoding #63

Open

Description

@AdamZWu

The payload field is currently defined as base64 encoded data, which is a reasonable choice for holding arbitrary data.

However, when the payload content is already a well-formed text string, the 33% size increase induced by the base64 encoding starts to feel a bit costly (See in-toto/attestation#289).

Could DSSE offer an "unencoded" mode, where users can directly put raw text string in the payload?

Or are there other alternatives / recommendations?
