Understood. And I don't want to side-track you here. However, if your house is such that it only requires confidentiality and data integrity of messages between group members, but does not require origin authentication that that'd be useful to know. What I mean by origin authentication here is the ability for the receiver of a multicast message to cryptographically verify exactly which member of the group has sent a message. If, OTOH, you can say that you would in fact also require origin authentication, then that is also of interest. (It'd mean that your use case could not be met by the initially chartered work for DICE, and that factoid could be helpful in figuring out how to handle the DICE work.)
