Hi folks,

I've heard that the JOSE WG is considered to be restarted.

Currently, during some discussions on "Use of HPKE with COSE''[1] in the
COSE WG, the topic of how to represent HPKE public keys has been
raised[2][3]. Specifically, it concerns whether encapsulated keys
(ephemeral **sender** public keys) for HPKE should be represented by
COSE_Key (binary version of JWK) or not and I am of the opinion that it is
not necessary to express them in COSE_Key.

On the other hand, however, I'm thinking it would be better to have a
standardized way and format for publishing **recipient** public keys for
HPKE. In particular, I believe that if we can express them in very popular
JWK format and publish them via developer-friendly jwks_uri endpoints the
use of HPKE on the application layer will be facilitated.

Would this topic be inside the scope of the new JOSE WG planned to be
re-chartered?

I would like to hear from the experts on this mailing list.

Best regards,
Ajitomi, Daisuke
