I referred to your idea in =

sg04076.html which is indeed not the proposal itself.

Indeed it must because delegation of authority requires a signature, but =
old clients won't understand it.

I=92ll rephrase what I intended to say. In your proposal two signatures =
need to be computed over the payment request data, one with the key =
related to the X.509 certificate (for backwards compatibility) and one =
with the ECDSA public key. On my proposal only one signature needs to be =
computed over the payment request data using the former key, the same =
way it happens now.

Indeed there is another signature, which is to authenticate the payment =
delegation. If you take it into account in the signature count, then =
your proposal has three signatures.
