-# Abstract
-
-This POUF describes a proposal to switch the TUF reference implementation maintained by NYU to using Dead Simple Signing Envelope (DSSE).
-
-# Protocol
-
-Refer to POUF-1.
-
-# Operations
-
-Refer to POUF-1.
-
-# Usage
-
-Refer to POUF-1.

-# Formats

-## General Principals
-
-All signed metadata objects have the format defined in DSSE v1:
-
-       {
-         "payload": "<Base64(SERIALIZED_BODY)>",
-         "payloadType": "<PAYLOAD_TYPE>",
-         "signatures": [{
-           "keyid": "<KEYID>",
-           "sig": "<Base64(SIGNATURE)>"
-         }]
-       }
-
-   where:
-
-          * SERIALIZED_BODY is a dictionary whose "_type" field describes the role type.
-
-          * PAYLOAD_TYPE is a fixed as "application/vnd.tuf+json identifying it as TUF metadata.
-
-          * KEYID is the identifier of the key signing the ROLE dictionary.
-
-          * SIGNATURE is a hex-encoded signature of the canonical JSON form of ROLE.
-
-For key formats, refer to POUF-1.
-
-
-## File Formats
-
-Refer to POUF-1.
-
-# Security Audit
-
-The parts of this profile borrowed from POUF-1 were included in TUF security audits available at https://theupdateframework.github.io/audits.html. The new signature wrapper has not yet been audited.

 The reference implementation includes all required features of the TUF standard, as well as many of the optional features as a reference for anyone wishing to implement TUF. The implementation uses Canonical JSON encoding.
 
-This version of the POUF covers v0.12.* of the reference implementation and has been updated to reflect that: snapshot.json only lists targets metadata (top-level and delegated), and timestamp.json includes hashes and length in METAFILES.
