<chair> At the F2F meeting in April we discussed this issue. At that time there was a task that was assigned to the Chairs. I am finally getting around to this.
There are currently two methods for going from a key agreement operation to a content encryption key in JWE. One of the questions that was asked - should we simplify this so that there is only one method to do this. Method #1 Key Agreement Secret --(KDF)--> Key Encryption Key --(Key Wrap)--> Content Encryption Key Method #2 Key Agreement Secret --(KDF)--> Content Encryption Key. At this point the chairs are NOT interested in answering the question - should we remove the second method. What we want to know at this point are answers to the following question: I have a use case where doing Method #2 is the correct method or a much better method. If this is a true statement, please provide the use case to use. If you don't have a use case then we currently do not need a reply to this message.
