I don’t have any deployments yet, but am changing companies in July and can see some future use cases for POP CWT around Web Authentication.

POP for JWT is taking off and Ping has implementations of that.

It would be beneficial if we could maintain the same confirmation “cnf” semantic between JWT and CWT.

I suspect that there are going to be gateways and mixed environments, so it will reduce confusion.

If you are asking about specific confirmation methods you need to give me a bit of time to swap some of this into my head.
The high level semantic of a confirmation element should be the same but even in JWT there are different methods and information that needs to be propagated depending on the application eg key hash vs DN vs encrypted symmetric key.
