Hi, I tried to implement the mechanism described in the FEP and decided to use HPKE ([RFC-9180](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9180.html )). What do you think of it?

HPKE seems to address the issue you pointed out back then: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9180.html#name-forward-secrecy.

At least if used properly. The library I am using hard-codes "info" and "aad" strings: https://github.com/rustonbsd/ed25519-dalek-hpke/blob/27b010a9ae25ba4ce051510eadfd103a179dd715/src/lib.rs#L98-L104

Anyway, here's an updated FEP: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/src/branch/main/0806/fep-0806.md
