Hi

JWA spec refers to the AES GCM KW family of algorithms as key encryption algorithms [1], in the section title. Key Wrapping with AES is referred to as is, Key Wrapping [2]. I replaced a test I had where Aes Key Wrap is used with AES GCM KW (using Java Cipher wrap internally) and it works.

I wonder is there some subtle meaning hidden in referring to [1] as the 'key encryption' and [2] as the "key wrapping" ? Or both terms can be used in a context of managing the content encryption keys with either [1] or [2] ?

Thanks, Sergey
