JEP proposed to target JDK 27: 527: Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 27:

  527: Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/527

  Summary: Enhance the security of Java applications that require secure
  network communication by implementing hybrid key exchange algorithms
  for TLS 1.3.  Such algorithms defend against future quantum computing
  attacks by combining a quantum-resistant algorithm with a traditional
  algorithm.  Applications that use the javax.net.ssl APIs will benefit
  from these improved algorithms by default, without change to existing
  code.

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 20:00 UTC on Monday, 19 January, 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 27.
