Thanks Mike! For the sake of clarity, would it make sense to strike the word “public” from the quoted sentence, since it may potentially be a symmetric key that is being referenced?

From: jose [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Biggs (adb) Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 8:43 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [jose] question regarding JWE header "kid"' attribute Section 4.1.6 of the JWE draft describes the “kid” attribute of the JWE header as a "hint [that] references the public key to which the JWE was encrypted”. If the JWE were encrypted in direct key agreement mode, would it be incorrect for the “kid” attribute to reference the CEK used in the JWE? Thanks, Andrew
