JSR 399 (Java SE 24): JEP Proposed to Target: 478: Key Derivation Function API (Preview)

[Iris Clark]

// with correct "Subject"

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 24:

  478: Key Derivation Function API (Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/478

  Summary: Introduce an API for Key Derivation Functions (KDFs), which
  are cryptographic algorithms for deriving additional keys from a secret
  key and other data.  This is a preview API.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Thu 31 Oct 16:00 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2024-October/009556.html

If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved
to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in
the specified release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states,
see the JEP Process document:

    https://openjdk.org/jeps/1

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