We shortened this document, to avoid repetitions and rather have simple

strictly related to the Group OSCORE case has been moved to.

Section 2 now clarifies that the joining node is the Client of
ace-key-groupcomm.

Section 2 now clarifies that the Group Manager is the KDC of

After Section 4.1 "Token POST", authorization aspects such validation of
