RFC 9770: Notification of Revoked Access Tokens in the Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments (ACE) Framework
Recent RFCs 2025-06-13
Summary:
This document specifies a method of the Authentication and
Authorization for Constrained Environments (ACE) framework, which
allows an authorization server to notify clients and resource servers
(i.e., registered devices) about revoked access tokens. As specified
in this document, the method allows clients and resource servers
(RSs) to access a Token Revocation List (TRL) on the authorization
server by using the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), with the
possible additional use of resource observation. Resulting
(unsolicited) notifications of revoked access tokens complement
alternative approaches such as token introspection, while not
requiring additional endpoints on clients and RSs.
