# Security Considerations {#Security}

The Status List as defined in this specification only exists in cryptographically secured containers which allows checking the integrity and origin without relying on other aspects like transport security (e.g., the web PKI).

## Correct decoding and parsing of the encoded Status List

Implementers should be particularly careful for the correct parsing and decoding of the Status List. Incorrect implementations might check the index on the wrong data or miscalculate the bit and byte index leading to an erroneous status of the Referenced Token. Beware, that bits are indexed (bit order) from least significant bit to most significant bit (also called "right to left") while bytes are indexed (byte order) in their natural incrementing byte order (usually written for display purpose from left to write). Endianness does not apply here because each status value fits within a single byte.
