Hi

JWA spec refers to the AES GCM KW family of algorithms as key encryption 
algorithms [1], in the section title. Key Wrapping with AES is referred 
to as is, Key Wrapping [2].
I replaced a test I had where Aes Key Wrap is used with AES GCM KW 
(using Java Cipher wrap internally) and it works.

I wonder is there some subtle meaning hidden in referring to [1] as the 
'key encryption' and [2] as the "key wrapping" ? Or both terms can be 
used in a context of managing the content encryption keys with either 
[1] or [2] ?

Thanks, Sergey
