The Future Proof reference has become a defacto standard for the implementation of a particular function or capability. It describes a product, service or technological system that will not need to be significantly updated as technology advances. An example of such a standard is MPEG DASH (RFC 6983) where all new mobile, television, and PCs support this standard for playing back video.

In the following reference descriptions, the terms:

• "Compliancy of Example to Standard", and
• "Example Specific Implementation"

are defined as "Yes", or "No".

Compliancy of Example to Standard

Yes → Indicates that Example fully complies to the standard.

No → Indicates that Example is not compliant.

Example Specific Implementation

Yes → Indicates that a specific Example profile is defined, meaning a subset of the standard is defined.

No → Indicates that the standard is used without any specific restriction.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation Data Interchange Format)

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a text format for the serialization of structured data.

• It is derived from the object literals of JavaScript, as defined in the ECMAScript Programming Language Standard, Third Edition [ECMA-262].
• JSON can represent four primitive types (strings, numbers, booleans, and null) and two structured types (objects and arrays).

JWA (JSON Web Algorithms)

This regards the description of encryption algorithms to encrypt JSON objects.

• This specification registers cryptographic algorithms and identifiers to be used with the JSON Web Signature [JWS], JSON Web Encryption [JWE], and JSON Web Key [JWK] specifications.

JWE (JSON Web Encryption)

This regards the encryption of JSON objects.

• JSON Web Encryption (JWE) represents encrypted content using JSON- based data structures [RFC7159]. The JWE cryptographic mechanisms encrypt and provide integrity protection for an arbitrary sequence of octets.

JWT (JSON Web Token)

This regards the structure of Access tokens used in the OAuth Protocol.

• JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact claims representation format intended for space constrained environments such as HTTP Authorization headers and URI query parameters.

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework

This regards the OAuth Protocol used for token processing.

• In the traditional client-server authentication model, the client requests an access-restricted resource (protected resource) on the server by authenticating with the server using the resource owner's credentials.

DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) - Part 1: Media presentation description and segment formats

This applies to adaptive streaming of video.

• ISO/IEC 23009-1:2012 primarily specifies formats for the Media Presentation Description (MPD) and Segments for dynamic adaptive streaming delivery of MPEG media over HTTP.
• The Media Presentation Description (MPD) is an XML-formatted document and describes a Media Presentation, i.e., a bounded or unbounded presentation of media content.

Standards Body: ISO MPEG

Reference Number: ISO/IEC 23009-1:2012

DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) - Part 4: Segment encryption and authentication

This aplies to the encryption of MPEG DASH. ISO/IEC 23009-4:2013 specifies:

• Format-independent segment encryption and signalling mechanisms for use with any media segment format used in DASH (ISO/IEC 23009-1:2012)
• Mechanisms to ensure segment integrity and authenticity for use with any segment used in DASH (ISO/IEC 23009-1:2012).
