  Summary: Enhance the security of Java applications by providing
  an implementation of the quantum-resistant Module-Lattice-Based
  Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM).  Key encapsulation mechanisms
  (KEMs) are used to secure symmetric keys over insecure communication
  channels using public key cryptography.  ML-KEM is designed to
  be secure against future quantum computing attacks.  It has been
  standardized by the United States National Institute of Standards and
  Technology (NIST) in FIPS 203.
