As a general rule, if you are wrapping the CEK in another layer, then a new
CEK is going to be generated every time.  This would not be the case if you
were using the "direct" recipient algorithm.

Subject: [jose] RSAES OAEP and AES GCM usage scenario

hi *,

in [0] there is an example of JWE with RSAES OAEP and AES GCM.
One of the first steps says "Generate a 256 bit random Content Encryption
Key (CEK)."
My question is,in a real use case scenario would you expect that a new CEK
is generated for every single JWE message?

thanks

antonio
