Hi all,

This latest version addresses the comments received during IETF Last Call. 
Thanks a lot to the reviewers for their comments and feedback!

In addition to that, this version:

* Addresses a few remaining comments from Paul as a follow-up of his AD review, 
mostly on wording about randomness and size of nonces (see 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ace/GbK2_LUWczMAWPuXFEO6039SD50/  )

* Ensures consistency with RFC 9594 when using an optimized Join Request for 
re-joining a group if already a group member (see Sections 4, 6.1, and 6.2 of 
this document) --- The 'client_cred' parameter cannot be omitted, but it can 
take a short sentinel value to enforce the optimization.

* Minor clarifications, editorial improvements, and fixes in the IANA 
considerations.


Best,
/Marco

Subject: [Ace] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-oscore-19.txt

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-oscore-19.txt is now available. It
is a work item of the Authentication and Authorization for Constrained
Environments (ACE) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   Key Management for Group Object Security for Constrained RESTful 
Environments (Group OSCORE) Using Authentication and Authorization for 
Constrained Environments (ACE)
   Authors: Marco Tiloca
            Francesca Palombini
   Name:    draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-oscore-19.txt
   Pages:   124
   Dates:   2026-01-24

Abstract:

   This document defines an application profile of the Authentication
   and Authorization for Constrained Environments (ACE) framework, to
   request and provision keying material in group communication
   scenarios that are based on the Constrained Application Protocol
   (CoAP) and are secured with Group Object Security for Constrained
   RESTful Environments (Group OSCORE).  This application profile
   delegates the authentication and authorization of Clients, which join
   an OSCORE group through a Resource Server acting as Group Manager for
   that group.  This application profile leverages protocol-specific
   transport profiles of ACE to achieve communication security, server
   authentication, and proof of possession for a key owned by the Client
   and bound to an OAuth 2.0 access token.
