2. - OKP is designed for stuff like this from the very beginning (yeah, the naming is just bad). - AKP is not meant for stuff like key agreement keys. It is primarily for pure signatures, but could work for Key Encryption (JOSE) / Key Transport (COSE). - ktys are not supposed to be isomorphic, but KEM would be isomorphic to OKP. -Ilari _______________________________________________ jose mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
