HTTP header for entity signature

There is a standard header for giving a digest of an HTTP request body (Content-MD5).

Is there a commonly-used header name for including a DSA signature of a digest (generated with openssl dgst -dss1 -sign <keyfile>), or do I need to just invent an application-specific one?

Solution

  • I think I want to be looking at S/MIME instead, the standard for constructing entity bodies that are encrypted and/or signed.
