Re: crypto-ISSUE-30 (where is the key ?): How does the application know where the key is stored ? [Web Cryptography API]

As mentioned on the call, I think this is related to ISSUE-25. One way for an application to know where a pre-shared key is stored is for that key to have an associated unique identifier which is communicated to the application server out-of-band as well as by the client.

While a previous issue (#11] has been already closed about the definition of a specific attribute for indicating if the key was stored in a specific secure element (or crypto providers), the problem about making sure the application is aware of the key ___location is still pending. The means for solving this specific problem do not need to rely on a specific attribute.
