      <abstract>
	 <t>   The migration to post-quantum cryptography often calls for performing
   multiple key encapsulations in parallel and then combining their
   outputs to derive a single shared secret.

   This document defines a comprehensible and easy to implement Keccak-
   based KEM combiner to join an arbitrary number of key shares, that is
   compatible with NIST SP 800-56Cr2 [SP800-56C] when viewed as a key
   derivation function.  The combiners defined here are practical split-
   key PRFs and are CCA-secure as long as at least one of the ingredient
   KEMs is.
