Hi,

In the ACE WG a straw man proposal of a CBOR Web Token (CWT) was defined in the 
draft "Authorization for the Internet of Things using OAuth 2.0” [1]. We just 
broke out the CBOR Web Token into a separate draft and the new draft is 
submitted to the OAUTH WG. It can be found here: 

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wahlstroem-oauth-cbor-web-token/

Abstract: 
"CBOR Web Token (CWT) is a compact means of representing claims to be 
transferred between two parties.  CWT is a profile of the JSON Web Token (JWT) 
that is optimized for constrained devices. The claims in a CWT are encoded in 
the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) and CBOR Object Signing and 
Encryption (COSE) is used for added application layer security protection.  A 
claim is a piece of information asserted about a subject and is represented as 
a name/value pair consisting of a claim name and a claim value."
