<h2 id="canonical-td-representations">Canonical TD
representation</h2>
<p>
A canonical representation serves multiple purposes.
It is simplifying the parsing process, enables to identify
equivalent TDs by simple string comparisons.
Furthermore it allows the use of a simple signing mechanism,
such as <a href="https://w3c-ccg.github.io/ld-proofs/">Linked Data Proofs</a> or JSON Web Signatures [[RFC7515]] and enables
identity checks on encrypted TDs.
</p>
<p>
The canonical JSON representation format of a TD adopts the JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) defined by
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8785>RFC-8785</a> including errata <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6292">6292</a>.
