1. `testXDH` and `testEC` are mostly identical. Maybe you can write a single method with 2 extra arguments.
2. According to the spec, multiple keys generated from a *single* `Encapsulator` are different. The `test` method is creating a new encapsulators each time.
3. There is no guarantee that a `SecretKey` follows the `hashCode/equals` convention and can be put inside a `Set` to detect duplication. It happens that in this implementation the key is a `SecretKeySpec` object so it works.

Again, we cannot guarantee `equals` between 2 `SecretKey` objects. However, since it's a positive test here, it's OK to do this. If we really modify the implementation later and return a different kind of `SecretKey`, we can update the test later.

test/jdk/javax/crypto/KEM/KemInterop.java line 81:

This is a negative test and we should rely on `!equals` here. I think we can drop this check. If the `enc.key()` check below already shows they are different, then the key will be different too.
