In versions 1.1 and prior, the description for in-toto predicates was informal pseudocode for specifying the shape of an object. With the ratification of CDDL in RFC8610, it is possible to concisely describe an object's regular structure in a standard language and furtheremore account for more concise encoding with CBOR (from RFC8949). To bring the base specification up to date with ITE-12, this change constitutes a minor version increase to account for the new feature of CBOR support. There is no need for a major version increase because the JSON representation is semantically equivalent, given certain reasonable interpretations of the meaning of the given pseudocode.

As a means to improve the conciseness of in-toto, we can dually express objects in both JSON and CBOR using a standard data definition language called CDDL. This is complementary to in-toto/ITE#60
