This specification defines how to use Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) with JSON Web Encryption (JWE). HPKE enables public key encryption of arbitrary-sized plaintexts to a recipient's public key, and provides security against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks. This specification chooses a specific subset of the HPKE features to use with JWE. This specification updates RFC 7516 (JWE) to enable use of Integrated Encryption as a Key Management Mode.
