1. Introduction
This specification defines algorithm encodings and representations
enabling the ISO/IEC 14888-3:2018 elliptic curve "SM2" [ISO14888-3]
to be used for JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) [RFC7515]
and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) [RFC8152] messages.
The elliptic curve and associated algorithm are registered in
appropriate IANA JOSE and COSE registries.
1.1. Requirements Notation and Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. JOSE and COSE SM2 Curve Key Representations
The ISO/IEC 14888-3:2018 elliptic curve "SM2" [ISO14888-3] is
represented in a JSON Web Key (JWK) [RFC7517] using these values:
* kty: EC
* crv: SM2
plus x and y values to represent the curve point for the key. Other
optional values such as alg MAY also be present.
It is represented in a COSE_Key [RFC8152] using these values:

Internet-Draft Using SM2 with JOSE and COSE November 2021
* kty (1): EC2 (2)
* crv (-1): SM2 (TBD - requested assignment 9)
plus x (-2) and y (-3) values to represent the curve point for the
key. Other optional values such as alg (3) MAY also be present.
3. ECDSA Signature with SM2 Curve
The ECDSA signature algorithm is defined in [ISO14888-3].
Implementations need to check that the key type is EC for JOSE or EC2
(2) for COSE when creating or verifying a signature.
The ECDSA algorithm specified in this document is:
+===============+================================+=============+
| JOSE Alg Name | COSE Alg Value | Description |
+===============+================================+=============+
| SM2 | TBD (requested assignment -48) | ECDSA w/ |
| | | SM2 Curve |
+---------------+--------------------------------+-------------+
