Abstract:

   This document specifies the Secure Collaborative State Workspace
   Protocol (SCSWP), a stateful, continuously authenticated protocol
   that enables multiple clients, operating from heterogeneous networks,
   to securely access and collaboratively manage a shared file workspace
   hosted on a central authoritative server.

   SCSWP defines a complete protocol lifecycle encompassing client
   provisioning via a Key-Dissolving bootstrap mechanism, mutual X.509
   certificate-based identity authentication, ephemeral Elliptic-Curve
   Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange producing a three-level
   cryptographic key hierarchy (K1, K2, K3), continuous Dynamic Network
   and Access (D/N/P/S) trust evaluation, per-client capability-based
   authorization, workspace-aware congestion control with a dynamic
   worker-pool scheduler, concurrent file-operation management via
   mutual exclusion locks and optimistic version control, idempotent
   operation execution, a hash-chained audit ledger, and session
   continuity and recovery through the Dynamic Network and Access
   Continuity (DNAC) mechanism.

   The fundamental security principle of SCSWP is that client trust is
   not established permanently at login time.  Instead, identity, device
   state, network context, session state, authorization state, resource
   state, and workspace state are evaluated continuously and
   cryptographically throughout the full lifetime of every connection.
