The IESG has received a request from the Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments WG (ace) to consider the following document: - 'Key Provisioning for Group Communication using ACE' <draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-17.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-10-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract 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. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
