I get the criticism of ECDH-ES with JWT in vivo, but not the linked tweets' broadside against it in vitro. Are we not just talking about ECIES?



It's all the things that had to go wrong all at once. P-curves, not Curve25519 (where curve point validation is less important). Static-ephemeral ECDH, so there's a key to target. Long-term durable keys. I'm not making an argument against ECIES (though I guess I'd push not to use the P-curves).
