Identifier Update for OSCORE
Two peers that communicate with the CoAP protocol can use the Object
Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE) protocol to
protect their message exchanges end-to-end. To this end, the two
peers share an OSCORE Security Context and a number of related
identifiers. In particular, each of the two peers stores a Sender ID
that identifies its own Sender Context within the Security Context,
and a Recipient ID that identifies the Recipient Context associated
with the other peer within the same Security Context. These
identifiers are sent in plaintext within OSCORE-protected messages.
Hence, they can be used to correlate messages exchanged between peers
and track those peers, with consequent privacy implications. This
document defines an OSCORE ID update procedure that two peers can use
to update their OSCORE identifiers. This procedure can be run stand-
alone or seamlessly integrated in an execution of the Key Update for
OSCORE (KUDOS) procedure.
