LTS, Important: SecurityToken field mandatoryness #444

Open milux opened 3 years ago

milux commented 3 years ago

Currently, the SecurityToken/DAT is defined as a mandatory field for all IDS message classes. This perfectly makes sense for MIME/Multipart and IDS-LDP due to statelessness, but does not make sense for IDSCP2. IDSCP2 handles the DAT (Dynamic Attribute Token) within the protocol itself, and the transfer of it in the serialized message headers creates unnecessary overhead and makes the protocol unnecessarily complicated.

Could we make this field optional?

Please assign @milux and @obraunsdorf to this issue, and add tags LTS and High Prio or something, since I cannot do that. Thank you!
