GLUECOSE provides an interoperability framework for various COSE libraries. At the same time, it is a single place where one can find with ease, which COSE library is best suited for ones project specific needs.
COSE is scary. COSE has a very wide feature spectrum. It is quite complex. Complexity multiplied with a vast range of features amplify the trepidation. Hence when a software developer wants to pick a COSE Library for their project, one does not know, what one gets ?
Have a clear view of tables that express the support of features by a certain COSE library, so that a user that needs to decide whether to use a certain crypto primitive for their software project can clearly identify the level of support for that feature in the open-source software ecosystem.
-
A way to query feature support for a specific COSE implementation in an automated fashion.
-
Comprehensive set of COSE tests which can be used by developers in their projects.
-
Published results of the glucose tests against a specific COSE implementation.
-
Compatibility Matrix of COSE libraries in the ecosystem.
