The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 25:

  510: Key Derivation Function API
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/510

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

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 18:00 UTC on Thursday, 15 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 25.
