Actually, I think Matt's draft-miller-jose-jwe-protected-jwk, written in 
response to our new proposed charter item (8), exactly addresses how the key is 
transmitted for separable keys.

That still doesn't address how the key is transmitted.

A solution for encryption requires (1) a way to encrypt a JWE under a given 
key, and (2) a way to transmit wrapped keys.  You are proposing a solution to 
(1), with some mechanism for (2).

JWE already solves (1) and (2), just not in a way that the keys are separable. 
Because the keys are included under the JWE integrity check, the JWE integrity 
check value will be different for each wrapped key.

Your answer already concedes that there is no benefit to including the key 
under the JWE integrity check.  We should just make it that way with JWE in 
general and the issue will be resolved.

Comment (by [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>):

 4.6 Dierct Encryption with a Shared Symmetric Key of JWA seems to be
 addressing the needs in this ticket.
