### Receipt of Inclusion

In a signed inclusion proof, the merkle tree root w.r.t. to which the proof was generated is a detached payload and corresponds to the log at size tree-size.
In a signed inclusion proof, the payload is the merkle tree root which corresponds to the log at size tree-size.
Specifications are encouraged to make payloads detached when possible, forcing validation-time comparison.
Profiles of proof signatures are encouraged to make additional protected header parameters mandatory, to ensure that claims are processed with their intended semantics.
One way to include this information in the COSE structure is use of the typ (type) Header Parameter, see {{-cose-typ}} and the similar guidance provided in {{-cwt-header-claims}}.
