Subject: [Ace] Adoption of Low Latency group Communication Security work

Hi all,

I am referring to the email of Hannes found at https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ace/current/msg01869.html <https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ace/current/msg01869.html>

I would ask the group to take on this work, and find a decent (and possibly controllable) balance between actual security needs and latency. E.g. in a lighting environment a presence detector signal needs to propagate rather quick to a larger set of light points to turn them on, but the authentication security need for this single operation is rather low, asking for re-authentication e.g. in a decent interval rather than for complex (and resource consuming) full authentication for every message sent.

ciao,
