[chair hat off]

Hi all,

I believe there are a few changes necessary for
draft-ietf-ace-oauth-authz in order to complete it and I am wondering
what the rest of the group thinks.

1) We have seen various contributions that want to use the ACE framework
for protocols other than CoAP. Still, the framework document focuses on
CoAP. I believe we should make it more generic by saying that there are
profiles using CoAP and others that don't. There shouldn't be anything
wrong with it.

2) There are various references to OSCOAP in the document and I believe
they are misleading since the framework does not depend on nor even use
OSCOAP.

3) The "Client Token" is somewhat experimental and not on par with the
rest of the document in terms of maturity and alignment with OAuth. I
would prefer this functionality to be covered in a separate document, if
someone still cares about it. While OAuth has seen a lot of formal
analysis this feature obviously hasn't. It should be clear from the
description that it is underspecified and currently insecure. For
example, it is not clear how the AS determines freshness of the
authentication request.

Thoughts?

Ciao
Hannes
