During FSC inloop uur we received the suggestion from stakeholders to explore a possible extension which makes FSC compliant with the encryption and signing modules for Digikoppeling. The stakeholders expressed feeling worried that if these modules will become mandatory within certain contexts they will need to invest allot of time in implementing it. This functionality should be available as a extension on FSC and implemented in the reference implementation. This will save the community allot of work and directly proof why a standard as FSC is useful.

Questions

Should the Outway encrypt/sign and the Inway decrypt/validate? Or is it expected that the API decrypts the data in this usecase?

How should a client indicate that encryption is required? Provide a certain header? Or should it be configured on a Outway? Or should it be described in a Contract?
