I am increasingly uncomfortable with leaving things like this.
There are a number of things that we could do as GRASP extensions:

  1a) M_SIGNED: could be container that encapsulates a GRASP message into
                a COSESign1 structure to indicate who sent the message.

  1b) M_MULTISIGNED: a be a container with a COSESign structure in which
                every passing node signs as it goes through.

  2) transport end to end, run it over TLS or something.  Might be implied or 
might
     require a M_STARTTLS message.

  3) hop-by-hop, with some kind of M_TUNNEL message, or using COSE Encrypt
     messages with relaying on the outside.

I think that all of these things could be ASA specific, but I think that ASA
should not have to re-invent the wheel here, but can use the GRASP "kernel"
(aka "libgrasp") to do the right thing.

My request for the Chairs to put this on the "re-chartering" list for later
on, but to discuss with ADs now so that some of the GRASP or framework work
could say something aobut "future work".
