# Changes from RFC 8725 {#changes-from-rfc8725}
787+
788+
This document obsoletes RFC 8725 and provides several significant improvements and additions:
789+
790+
## Major Changes
791+
792+
1. Encryption-Signature Confusion: Added mitigation for attacks where verifiers don't distinguish between successful decryption and successful signature validation.
793+
794+
2. PBES2 Count Limits: Added requirements to reject unreasonably large `p2c` (PBES2 Count) values to prevent DoS attacks.
795+
796+
3. Algorithm Verification: Added defensive checking to address incorrect reading of `alg` values as being case-insensitive.
797+
798+
4. Compression DoS: Added mitigation for DoS attacks resulting from abuse of compression in JWE.
799+
800+
5. JWT Format Confusion: Added mitigation for JWT serialization format confusion attacks.
