## Abstract

An interface `ERC2477` with two functions `tokenURIIntegrity` and ``tokenURISchemaIntegrity` are specified for smart contracts and a narrative is provided to explain how this improves the integrity of the token metadata documents.

* ERC-1155 metadata extension (`ERC1155Metadata_URI`)
* ERC-1046 (DRAFT) ERC-20 Metadata Extension

Although all these standards allow storing the metadata entirely on-chain (using the "data" URI, RFC 2397), or using a content-addressible system (e.g. IPFS's Content IDentifiers [sic]), every implementation we have found is using Uniform Resource Locators. These URLs provide no guarantees of content correctness or immutability. This standard adds such guarantees.

**Function return tuple**

The SRI integrity attribute encodes elements of the tuple $$(cryptographic\ hash\ function, digest, options)$$. This ERC-2477 standard returns a digest and hash function name and omits forward-compatability options.

Clients must support the SHA-256 algorithm may support others. This is a departure from the SRI specification here SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 are all required. The rationale for this less-secure requirement is because we expect some clients to be on-chain. Currently SHA-256 is simple and cheap to do on Ethereum whereas SHA-384 and SHA-512 are more expensive and cumbersome.

The most popular hash function size below 256 bits in current use is SHA-1 at 160 bits. Multiple collissions (the "Shattered" PDF file, the 320 byte file, the chosen prefix) have been published and a recipe is given to generate infinitely more collisions. SHA-1 is broken. The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has first deprecated SHA-1 for certain use cases in November 2015 and has later further expanded this deprecation.

## Backwards Compatibility

Both ERC-721 and ERC-1155 provide compatible token metadata specifications built on top of URIs and using JSON schemas. This standard is compatible with both and all specifications are addititive. Therefore, there are no backwards compatability regressions.

ERC-1523 Standard for Insurance Policies as ERC-721 Non Fungible Tokens (DRAFT) proposes an extension to ERC-721 which also tightens the requirements on metadata. Because this is wholly an extension of ERC-721 and this standard ERC-2477 already supports ERC-721 then therefore ERC-1523 is automatically supported.

$schema is not mentioned anywhere else in the standard, could this be expanded on or clarified to avoid confusion?

Assume that the metadata and schema above apply to a token with identifier 1234. (In ERC-721 this would be a specific token, in ERC-1155 this would be a token type.) Then the these two function calls MAY have the following output:

Since the methods are per token should the methods throw if the tokenId does not exist or return a specific value. This should probably be defined.

721 says this:

/// @dev NFTs assigned to zero address are considered invalid, and queries
///  about them do throw.

but 1155 does not have such a prescription.

I do not see an obvious way to specify this here yet. Please open this as a discussion item in the discussions-to.

Are we good to go? Is there anything that's blocking this issue to be accepted as final?

@coinfork @MoMannn please approve this PR if there's nothing else to change. Thanks.
