The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 21:

  452: Key Encapsulation Mechanism API
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/452

  Summary: Introduce an API for key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs),
  an encryption technique for securing symmetric keys using public key
  cryptography.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Friday, 26 May, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 21.
