Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 9864. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format designed for small code size and small message size. There is a need to be able to define basic security services for this data format. This document defines a set of algorithms that can be used with the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) protocol (RFC 9052). This document, along with RFC 9052, obsoletes RFC 8152.
