Key wrapping and key encryption are the same thing. -----Original Message----- From: jose [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sergey Beryozkin Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2014 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [jose] Does A128GCMKW qualify as key wrap or encryption algorithm
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 [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-31#section-4.7 [2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-31#section-4.4. _______________________________________________ jose mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/jose _______________________________________________ jose mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/jose
