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. _______________________________________________ Ace mailing list Ace@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ace
