1.  Introduction

   This document expands the ACE framework [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz] to
   define the format of messages used to distribute the keying material
   in a group communication scenario.  Profiles that use group
   communication can build on this document to specify exactly which of
   the message parameters defined in this documents are used, and what
   are their values.  Known applications that can benefit from this
   document would be, for example, profiles addressing group
   communication based on multicast [RFC7390] or publishing/subscribing
   [I-D.ietf-core-coap-pubsub] in ACE.

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].  These
   words may also appear in this document in lowercase, absent their
   normative meanings.

   Readers are expected to be familiar with the terms and concepts
   described in [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz] and [RFC8152].
