What exactly do you mean by "negotiation to reuse existing credentials?"

The SACRED charter talks about a server-based scheme where "Credentials are
uploaded to the server by one device (e.g., a desktop computer); they can be
stored there and downloaded when needed by the same or a different device
(e.g., a mobile phone, PDA, or laptop computer)."

"Downloading from the server" part above sounds like "reusing existing
credentials".

OK, we care about how those credentials will get to the host, right?
Somehow the client will have to prove its ownership of the credentials to
the other end (server) and receive them? Or, prove authorization to get a
new set of credentials from the server. Maybe this is the difference: the
former is SACRED, the latter is ENROLL. But how would this impact the
protocol design, this is what I'm trying to understand...
