The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Admin Interface for the OSCORE Group Manager' (draft-ietf-ace-oscore-gm-admin-16.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 Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ace-oscore-gm-admin/ Technical Summary Group communication for the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) can be secured using Group Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (Group OSCORE). A Group Manager is responsible for handling the joining of new group members, as well as for managing and distributing the group keying material. This document defines a RESTful admin interface at the Group Manager that allows an Administrator entity to create and delete OSCORE groups, as well as to retrieve and update their configuration. The ACE framework for Authentication and Authorization is used to enforce authentication and authorization of the Administrator at the Group Manager. Protocol-specific transport profiles of ACE are used to achieve communication security, proof of possession, and server authentication. Working Group Summary There was broad agreement and good feedback of the Directorate reviews. Document Quality I am not aware of implementations yet, but it seems likely the usual suspects will implement. A media type is already assigned: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/ace-groupcomm+cbor Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Tim Hollebeek. The Responsible Area Director is Paul Wouters. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
