Key Update for OSCORE (KUDOS)
Communications with the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) can
be protected end-to-end at the application-layer by using the
security protocol Object Security for Constrained RESTful
Environments (OSCORE). Under some circumstances, two CoAP endpoints
need to update their OSCORE keying material before communications can
securely continue, e.g., due to approaching key usage limits. This
document defines Key Update for OSCORE (KUDOS), a lightweight key
update procedure that two CoAP endpoints can use to update their
OSCORE keying material by establishing a new OSCORE Security Context.
Accordingly, this document updates the use of the OSCORE flag bits in
the CoAP OSCORE Option as well as the protection of CoAP response
messages with OSCORE. Also, it deprecates the key update procedure
specified in Appendix B.2 of RFC 8613. Therefore, this document
updates RFC 8613.
