Ciphersuite (fully specified) approach strongly preferred.

Dear all,

We had long discussions on the mailing list (see [COSE] COSE-HPKE and the 
Single Algorithm Discussion 
(ietf.org)<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cose/_GQXXpltAgXNozXIFC9z1yY1CCM/>)
 and a summary presentation at the last IETF meeting (see 
slides-117-code-updated-hike-summary-notes-from-hannes 
(ietf.org)<https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/117/materials/slides-117-cose-updated-hpke-summary-notes-from-hannes>
 and COSE IETF 117 - HedgeDoc<https://notes.ietf.org/notes-ietf-117-cose>) 
about the question whether algorithm combinations should be presented in an “a 
la carte” style or as a “ciphersuite” in draft-ietf-cose-hpke (“A la carte” 
corresponds to “polymorphic” in 
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-jones-jose-fully-specified-algorithms-01.html
 and “ciphersuite” corresponds to “fully specified”). On the mailing list and 
during the face to face meeting there was a strong consensus to use the 
ciphersuite (fully specified) approach.

The chairs would like to confirm this decision. You have 2 weeks till Tuesday, 
the 19th of September to provide your final feedback. Please reply-all 
indicating your preference for either:

·         ciphersuite (fully specified) approach

·         A la carte (polymorphic) approach
The authors will be then instructed to update the COSE-HPKE working group draft 
accordingly.

Best wishes,
Ivaylo on behalf of the COSE chairs
