Abstract:

   The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol provides efficient
   asynchronous group key establishment for large groups with up to
   thousands of clients.  In MLS, any member can commit a change to the
   group, and consequently, all members must download, validate, and
   maintain the full group state which can incur a significant
   communication and computational cost, especially when joining a
   group.

   This document defines Light MLS, an extension that allows for "light
   clients".  A light client cannot commit changes to the group, and
   only has partial authentication information for the other members of
   the group, but is otherwise able to participate in the group.  In
   exchange for these limitations, a light client can participate in an
   MLS group with significantly lower requirements in terms of download,
   memory, and processing.
