Hi Martin, A few comments: 1) I don't know why you want to go for a KEM. Using a KEM seems well-motivated if the goal is to go post-quantum, but AFAIK that is not the objective here. I generally consider DH to be cleaner, simpler and just overall better than a KEM. That said, your write-up do

I am a little surprised that GNUnet's transport layer relies on bidirectional communication between peers. Hypothetical steganographic communicators, or sneakernet connections, may not have that luxury. How does this fit in with the GNUnet-CONG project to interoperate with libp2p? Regards,
