1.  Introduction

   In the OSCORE profile, the client and resource server receive the
   OSCORE Sender and Recipient Identifiers from the AS.  This has some
   limitations, especially if the OSCORE profile is used in conjuction
   with other mechamisms that also derive identifiers, in which case
   either collisions would happen, or longer identifiers need to be used
   as a result.  This document describes a way to negotiate the
   identifiers so that collisions does not happen even if other
   authentication mechanisms are used.

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   Readers are expected to be familiar with the terms and concepts
   described in [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz]
   [I-D.ietf-ace-oscore-profile], such as Authorization Server (AS) and
   Resource Server (RS).

   Readers are expected to be familiar with the terms and concepts
   described in [RFC8613], especially on the use of Sender, Recipient
   and Context Identifiers.

2.  Background

   TODO: introduce OSCORE Sender and Recipient Identifiers and how they
   are used in OSCORE.

   The OSCORE profile specifies that the AS assigns and sends the OSCORE
   Sender and Recipient Identifiers to both Client and RS, together with
   the rest of the input material to derive the complete OSCORE Security
   Context.  That is done by including these identifiers in the Access
   Token and Access Information response to the Client.  The access
