The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 25:

  470: PEM Encodings of Cryptographic Objects (Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/470

  Summary: Introduce an API for encoding objects that represent
  cryptographic keys, certificates, and certificate revocation lists into
  the widely-used Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) transport format, and for
  decoding from that format back into objects.  This is a preview API.

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 17:00 UTC on Tuesday, 27 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.
