 How would HPKE Export-Only AEAD impact the integration into COSE?


What I wanted to say was that the encryption/decryption algorithm for the
Export-Only AEAD is not specified in the COSE layer like existing COSE algs
or HPKE algorithms other than Export-Only AEAD.

It means that it is necessary for the applications to pass
encryption/decryption functions using HPKE's export() to the COSE layer.
Therefore, the COSE library needs to have a new and different interface for
this.

>From a library implementor's point of view, I don't want to put effort into
implementing a feature that has little need, so I'm thinking that not
supporting the Export-Only AEAD would be an option.

Daisuke
