Shouldn't this follow the pattern we use for securing VCs? With a base media type for VPs.

1.2. JWT PRs.

Orie Steele: There are 2 new PRs on VC-JWT, 103 and 104.

See github pull request vc-jwt#103.

See github pull request vc-jwt#104.

Orie Steele: There are 2 new PRs on VC-JWT, 103 and 104.

See github pull request vc-data-model#1144.

Orie Steele: PRs up in the core data model 1144.

Phillip Long: pdl-ASU has joined #vcwg.

Joe Andrieu: Added a comment to 103. Would it be useful to reuse the pattern for VCs. A base media type plus securing?
… both securing mechanisms will need a payload with a common basis.

Dmitri Zagidulin: +1 Joe, I was wondering about that as well.

Orie Steele: correct, that is what it is doing.

Dave Longley: agrees it is following the same pattern.

Orie Steele: talking about confidence method in registry.

Dave Longley: +1 to adding confidence method to the reserved terms table + v2 context, sounds good.

Brent Zundel: 9 open PRs, please review and look thru them.
… moving on to final topic, issues.

Ted Thibodeau Jr.: suggest that we call out specific issues and PRs in agenda ahead of time.

Orie Steele: There are also several open PRs here: https://github.com/w3c/vc-status-list-2021/pulls which can be discussed.

@jandrieu as we discussed on the call, this approach does align with the approach we took previously:

application/vp+ld+jwt

See w3c/vc-data-model#1144

Interesting.

I was expecting a base media type, e.g., application/vp+ld+json which would then be secured by JWT, DI, etc. which show up as 'application/vp+jwt', but I'm not seeing any reference to a base media type.

I do see that application/vp+ld+json is mentioned in the other PR you mention w3c/vc-data-model#1144, but application/vc+jwt and application/vp+ld+jwt do not use the same pattern.

If it were using the same pattern, I would expect application/vp-jwt which secures application/vp-ld-json just as application/vc+jwt secures application/vc+ld+json

@jandrieu i don't think your suggestion would be following the convention we have so far.

We defined a JSON media type for VCs:

vc+ld+json we use vc+ld+jwt to secure it.

We define a JSON media type for VPs:

vp+ld+json we use vp+ld+jwt to secure it.

We don't use "-" because we are trying to leverage the multiple suffixes draft, that we hope will be an RFC one day.

+json+jwt would be redundant.

Hopefully the examples in the other PRs will make this clearer.
