+# HTTP Message Signing
+
+AP2 payment flows use HTTP as the transport layer for mandate exchange,
+checkout initiation, and payment proof submission. This section documents
+the AlgoVoi-authored binding of RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) and
+RFC 9530 (Digest Fields for HTTP) to AP2 payment mandate HTTP exchanges,
+providing transport-layer cryptographic signing of AP2 mandate requests
+and responses.
+
+The normative binding is the AlgoVoi-authored `rfc9421-x402-binding-v1`
+extension, documented at
+[`docs.algovoi.co.uk/rfc9421-binding-v1`](https://docs.algovoi.co.uk/rfc9421-binding-v1).
+Reference implementations:
+
+- [`algovoi-rfc9421-verifier`](https://pypi.org/project/algovoi-rfc9421-verifier/) on PyPI
+- [`@algovoi/rfc9421-verifier`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@algovoi/rfc9421-verifier) on npm
+
+Both packages are published under Apache 2.0.
+
+## Usage
+
+An AP2 participant that adopts HTTP Message Signing attaches RFC 9421
+`Signature-Input` and `Signature` headers to AP2 mandate requests and
+responses. The receiving party verifies the signature before processing
+the mandate body.
+
+HTTP Message Signing is complementary to the payload-level canonicalisation
+provided by the AlgoVoi canonicalisation pin (`urn:x402:canonicalisation:jcs-rfc8785-v1`):
+JCS canonicalises the mandate body for hash-bound content-addressing;
+RFC 9421 signs the HTTP envelope carrying that body. The two operate at
+distinct layers and compose without conflict.
+
+## Covered Components
+
+For AP2 mandate requests (checkout initiation, payment proof submission),
+the minimum normative covered component set is:
+
+| Component | Source | Rationale |
+| :-------- | :----- | :-------- |
+| `@method` | HTTP method | Binds the signature to the HTTP method. |
+| `@authority` | HTTP authority | Binds the signature to the target origin. |
+| `@path` | HTTP path | Binds the signature to the resource path. |
+| `content-digest` | RFC 9530 Content-Digest of the body | Binds the signature to the integrity of the mandate body. |
+
+Implementations MAY additionally cover RFC 9421 derived components per
+their security policy. The minimum set above is normative for AP2
+adoption of this binding.
+
+## Content-Digest Discipline
+
+Implementations MUST emit `Content-Digest` using `sha-256` (RFC 9530
+mandatory baseline) and SHOULD emit `sha-512` for bodies at or above
+4096 bytes. Verifiers MUST accept both. Verifiers MUST NOT silently skip
+an unrecognised digest algorithm; they MUST treat it as if no usable
+digest were present and reject the message.
+
+## Multi-hop Proxy-chain Survival
+
+AP2 deployments that route mandate requests through intermediary hops
+(e.g., Network-layer proxies, Merchant Payment Processors acting as
+intermediaries) MUST preserve the original `Signature` and `Signature-Input`
+headers end-to-end. Intermediaries that modify the covered components
+invalidate the original signature; such modifications MUST NOT occur without
+producing a new, independently-verifiable signature from the intermediary.
+
+The AlgoVoi proxy-chain conformance fixture at
+[`chopmob-cloud/algovoi-jcs-conformance-vectors`](https://github.com/chopmob-cloud/algovoi-jcs-conformance-vectors)
+(corpus `rfc9421_proxy_chain_v0`) provides byte-level reference digests
+for the signing base and signature across a two-hop proxy chain.
+
+## Canonicalisation Interaction
+
+When the AP2 mandate body is also canonicalised under
+`urn:x402:canonicalisation:jcs-rfc8785-v1`, the `content-digest` covered
+component binds the RFC 9421 transport-layer signature to the specific
+JCS-canonical byte sequence of the mandate. This allows a verifier to
+confirm both:
+
+1. The HTTP message was signed by the declared key (RFC 9421 layer).
+2. The mandate body is the exact canonical form the signer intended (JCS layer).
+
+## Authorship
+
+This binding is AlgoVoi-authored. The underlying RFC 9421 and RFC 9530
+standards are IETF publications independent of AlgoVoi.
+
+## Orthogonality
+
+HTTP Message Signing operates at the transport layer. It is orthogonal to:
+
+- Payload canonicalisation (JCS; operates on the mandate body, not the
+  HTTP envelope carrying it).
+- Compliance Receipt and Settlement Attestation (payload-layer attestations
+  that reference canonical mandate hashes, not HTTP headers).
+- Agent identity registration (the agent card `signatureSchemes` field
+  declares supported algorithms; this section specifies the per-request
+  signing act, not the identity registration).
+
+## Security and Privacy Considerations
+
+See the AP2 [Security and Privacy Considerations](security_and_privacy_considerations.md)
+document. HTTP Message Signing adds the following:
+
+- The `created` RFC 9421 parameter SHOULD be included on payment proof
+  submissions to provide a signed timestamp; verifiers SHOULD reject
+  signatures with `created` values outside an acceptable clock-skew window.
+- `keyid` resolution MUST follow an out-of-band discipline agreed between
+  AP2 participants; the `keyid` parameter does not itself constitute
+  proof of identity without that discipline.
+- Content-Digest verification MUST precede signature acceptance; a
+  signature over a body whose Content-Digest does not match the actual
+  body MUST be rejected regardless of signature validity.
