This draft closes all know open issues. A description of the changes made is:
-24
* Described Key Encryption Mode as a Content Key Distribution Method like
those specified in Section 8.5 of [RFC9052].
* Improved description of Recipient_structure.
* Improved description of the use of COSE_Recipient.
* Added description of Context Binding.
* The "psk_id" header parameter, when present, MUST be a protected header
parameter.
* Added PSK test vectors.

Abstract:
This specification defines hybrid public-key encryption (HPKE) for
use with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE). HPKE offers a
variant of public-key encryption of arbitrary-sized plaintexts for a
recipient public key.
HPKE is a general encryption framework utilizing an asymmetric key
encapsulation mechanism (KEM), a key derivation function (KDF), and
an Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) algorithm.
This document defines the use of HPKE with COSE. Authentication for
HPKE in COSE is provided by COSE-native security mechanisms or by the
pre-shared key authenticated variant of HPKE.
