Hi all,

In a discussion with Russ the following issue surfaced.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-cose-hpke-02 specifies a 
one-layer and a two-layer structure. The two-layer structure a sender to 
transmit ciphertext to multiple recipients while only encrypting the plaintext 
once with a content encryption key (CEK).

Layer 0 contains the plaintext encrypted with the CEK.

Layer 1 contains the encrypted CEK, which is a random value of suitable length 
encrypted using HPKE.

The question is: Should we utilize AES-KW to wrap the CEK' by using HPKE to 
produce the Key Encryption Key?

Ciao
Hannes
