Hi,

I'm in favour of standardizing this work and am willing to review the
document(s). I don't have a view on the best way to achieve this, but I
think that the work would benefit from discussion on the list. There are
a number of open questions in my mind, including the following:
 - Should this be QKD only, or PFS through generic OTP?
 - Should this use PAK-DH? (there is a stronger argument for it if this
is about a generic solution)
 - Should there be a standardized structure to the Key ID? (Again, not
needed for direct QKD)
 - What is the best way to derive the keying material?
