Hi Goeran, there was never any doubt that we can use COSE to design a security solution using the already existing building blocks.
Btw, in the meanwhile we have actually concluded the discussion in ACE on the group communication security topic, see https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ace/current/msg01967.html Ciao Hannes PS: You cannot decouple the question of adoption of draft-somaraju-ace-multicast-01 from the question of source authentication since this was the core issue of the debate.
