AliceLabs LLC fixes canonical JSON bug, passes RFC 8785 verification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Edgar Flores of AliceLabs LLC has fixed a bug in their canonical JSON implementation that was causing signature verification failures. The issue involved incorrectly escaping forward slashes in URLs, leading to longer strings and thus different SHA-256 hashes than expected by RFC 8785. Flores has also addressed other identified issues, including removing an alias from the signed payload and adding the CA key ID to the signature block. The updated implementation now passes verification with a Python script provided by the user, confirming the fix for card ATC-2026-1509360. AI

IMPACT Minimal impact; this is a technical fix for a specific JSON canonicalization issue.

RANK_REASON This is a bug fix and verification for a specific implementation of a standard, not a new product release or significant industry event.
