Hi, David,

Let me know what you mentioned more precisely.
We're using JSON Encryption Envelop to exchange privacy data.
(Spec is here :
http://bitbucket.org/Nat/jsonenc/src/tip/draft-sakimura-jsonenc-00.txt
)
It encrypt shared key in public key encryption and the payload
of canonicalized JSON string is encrypted with that shared key.

I think if those shared key is known, the payloads can be decrypted.
You might have talked about other security issues which I'm missing.

Best regards.
