JEP 451, Prepare to Disallow the Dynamic Loading of Agents, has been promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted for JDK 21. InfoQ will follow up with a more detailed news story.

This JEP was recently updated to include a major change that eliminates the DerivedKeyParameterSpec class in favor of placing fields in the argument list of the encapsulate(int from, int to, String algorithm) method. This feature JEP type proposes to: satisfy implementations of standard Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithms satisfy use cases of KEM by higher level security protocols and allow service providers to plug-in Java or native implementations of KEM algorithms. JEP 452, Key Encapsulation Mechanism API, has been promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted for JDK 21.
