[Ace] [IANA #1303039] expert review for draft-ietf-ace-wg-coap-eap (core-parameters, CoAP Content-Formats)

2024-01-19 Thread David Dong via RT
Dear Authors/Chairs/ADs,

Following up on this; please see below for comments from the expert.

--

I believe the draft would need a few updates to clarify the new media type and 
the precise request.

* application/coap-eap is registered but never used (i.e. referred to by name) 
from any other section.
* I couldn't find an explicit format/syntax definition for this new media type.
* Is it equal to the CBOR data format defined in Section 4? If so, then section 
4 should mention at least the name of the new media type and section 8.5 
ideally should give a quick pointer to section 4 for the format definition.
* the text in 8.6 should better refer to Section 12.3 of [RFC 7252] for the 
registry; link to [RFC 6690] is not so useful here.
The text says "Expert Review" but that's only for the 0-255 range. For this 
range some additional motivation is required why it needs to be there, and this 
is missing.
For the 256- range the procedure is "IETF review" -> did you mean to select 
this range?

It would be ok to continue the registration with the current draft, if the 
authors want to make text clarifications later on and not now.
A number in the 256- is for sure ok (if that's intended), for example 260, 
but for 0-255 range some reason/rationale needs to be provided.

Best regards,

[Ace] [IANA #1297477] expert review for draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm (core-parameters, Custom Problem Detail Keys)

2024-01-19 Thread David Dong via RT
Hi Thomas and Carsten (cc: ace WG),

As the designated experts for the Custom Problem Detail Keys registry, can you 
review the proposed registration in draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-18 for us? 
This document has already been approved for publication by the IESG.

Please see:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm/

The due date is February 1st, but as this document has already been approved 
for publication, could you please review at your earliest convenience?

If this is OK, we'll make the registration at:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/core-parameters/

Unless you ask us to wait for the other reviewers, we’ll act on the first 
response we receive.

With thanks,

David Dong

[Ace] [IANA #1284521] expert review for draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm (core-parameters, if=)

2024-01-19 Thread David Dong via RT
Hi Carsten, Jaime, and Christian (cc: ace WG),

As the designated experts for the Interface Description (if=) Link Target 
Attribute Values registry, can you review the updated proposed registrations in 
draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-18 for us? You have previously review 
draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-17.

The authors have added a new "ace.groups" proposed registration in addition to 
the previously reviewed "ace.group".

Please see:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm/

The due date is February 2nd.

If this is OK, when the IESG approves the document for publication, we'll make 
the registrations at:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/core-parameters/

Unless you ask us to wait for the other reviewers, we’ll act on the first 
response we receive.

With thanks,

David Dong

[Ace] Protocol Action: 'Key Provisioning for Group Communication using ACE' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-18.txt)

2024-01-19 Thread The IESG
The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Key Provisioning for Group Communication using ACE'
  (draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-18.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Authentication and Authorization for
Constrained Environments Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Roman Danyliw.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm/




Technical Summary

   This document defines how to use the Authentication and Authorization
   for Constrained Environments (ACE) framework to distribute keying
   material and configuration parameters for secure group communication.
   Candidate group members acting as Clients and authorized to join a
   group can do so by interacting with a Key Distribution Center (KDC)
   acting as Resource Server, from which they obtain the keying material
   to communicate with other group members.  While defining general
   message formats as well as the interface and operations available at
   the KDC, this document supports different approaches and protocols
   for secure group communication.  Therefore, details are delegated to
   separate application profiles of this document, as specialized
   instances that target a particular group communication approach and
   define how communications in the group are protected.  Compliance
   requirements for such application profiles are also specified.

Working Group Summary

   No controversies. 

Document Quality

This draft in itself cannot be implemented. The API and message template
formats that it defines have to be instantiated by its profiles (such as
key-groupcomm-oscore), which can rather be implemented. The latest has been
implemented in the java ACE implementation for Californium
 https://bitbucket.org/marco-tiloca-sics/ace-java/

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Daniel Migault. The
   Responsible Area Director is Paul Wouters.
