"The feature, post-quantum hybrid key xxchange for TLS 1.3, was listed on the OpenJDK page for JDK 27 on January 13. It would enhance the security of Java applications requiring network communications by implementing hybrid key exchange algorithms. These algorithms defend against future quantum computing attacks by combining a quantum-resistant algorithm with a traditional algorithm. Applications that use javax.net.ssl APIs will benefit from the improved algorithms by default, without change to existing code, according to the JEP (JDK Enhancement Proposal)."
"JDK 27 will be a non-LTS (Long-Term Support) release backed by six months of support, the same as JDK 26, which is due March 17. The current standard Java release, JDK 25, is an LTS release backed by multiple years of support. Other possible features for JDK 27 are preview features in JDK 26. These include: Another strong possibility is the Vector API, now being incubated in JDK 26."
Post-quantum hybrid key exchange for TLS 1.3 was listed for JDK 27 on January 13.

These algorithms will enhance security for Java applications requiring network communications. Applications that use javax.net.ssl APIs will benefit from the improved algorithms by default, without changes to existing code. JDK 27 will be a non-LTS release backed by six months of support, matching the support window for JDK 26. JDK 26 is due March 17, while JDK 25 remains the current LTS release with multiple years of support. Other possible JDK 27 features include preview items from JDK 26 such as the incubating Vector API. Oracle described plans for work on value types, structured concurrency, and AOT compilation for 2026, though those features may not arrive that year.
