I've added

     * HPKE is a public key encryption scheme for encrypting
     * arbitrary-sized plaintexts to a receiver's public key. It combines a key
     * encapsulation mechanism (KEM), a key derivation function (KDF), and an
     * authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD) cipher.

These are copied from [the Abstract of RFC 9180](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9180.html#abstract) with a few tweaks.
