I suggested a number of somewhat nitpicky changes here. Feel free to disregard anything I may have misunderstood. Most of the changes requested center around:

  • Eliminating the use of "it" as a pronoun. The description is very technical and I think it should be painfully clear which components are doing what. Actually, most of these changes are about establishing painful clarity in all sentences.
  • Being more detailed about where the WPEK comes from, which components are privvy to it, etc. There are some details omitted that would raise questions to an outside reader, IMO. The reader should know exactly what this key is so they understand why the channel is secure.

I actually think this is pretty close. There are a few formatting errors and I had a question about one of the rejected proposals.

This is rendered strangely in markdown. "Enarx runtime pieces" becomes a bullet point.

If a port has been pre-established, between the Enarx Client Agent and
the Keep, then the Keep MUST listen on this port,
and MAY also listen on the well-known port.

Why would the Keep listen on both ports?

and runs. This maintains the host agent's status as a proxy between
other components, and doesn't make further assumptions about routing

What's "2"?

- the host agent should act as an untrusted proxy wherever possible,
and not include process logic.
- maintaining multiple versions of host agents is complex from
a deployment point of view.

I don't actually understand why process logic is required for the host agent to be a proxy in this way, or why multiple versions of the host agent would be necessary with this design.
