Hello Orie,

I'm late to the discussion here but I'd like to point out that
the Algorithm Key Pair Type does not specify whether "pub" must always be
present when a private key is represented.

e.g. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7518.html#section-6.2.2
> In addition to the members used to represent Elliptic Curve public keys,
> the following member MUST be present to represent Elliptic Curve private

Currently, all asymmetric JWK formats are defined such that private keys
always include their public key components. For AKP that is not the case
and the document is silent on the topic.

S pozdravem,

Hi Paul,

I've not been able to keep up with that discussion, but I believe you are
correct.

At some point we will probably see a similar discussion for ML-KEM and
x-wing.

It would be unfortunate if COSE/JOSE and LAMPs ended up diverging on the
bare key and signature formats for PQC.

Regards,

OS
