Subject: New candidate JEP: 527: Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3
Message-ID: <SJ2PR10MB7617DD0A6A0A53BFD1F68085FBE6A@SJ2PR10MB7617.namprd10.prod.outlook.com>

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been moved to the Candidate state:

  527: Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3
  https://openjdk.org/jeps/527

      Summary: Enhance the security of Java applications that require secure
      network communication by implementing hybrid key exchange algorithms
      for TLS 1.3.  Such algorithms defend against future quantum computing
      attacks by combining a quantum-resistant algorithm with a traditional
      algorithm.  Applications that use the javax.net.ssl APIs will benefit
      from these improved algorithms by default, without change to existing
      code.

A JEP in the Candidate state is a feature deemed worthy of consideration by
the JDK Project, but with no commitment to deliver the feature in any
particular release of the JDK Project. Later, the JEP may be moved to the
Targeted state, which indicates that the feature is expected to appear in a
specific release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states, see
the JEP Process document:

    https://openjdk.org/jeps/1

A JEP with "SE" scope that reaches the Targeted state will be listed in the
Specification of the Java SE Platform JSR which corresponds to the targeted
JDK Project release.

A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this
page:
