The X.509 encoded format for HSS/LMS public keys has been updated to align with the latest standard outlined in [RFC 9708](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9708.html#name-hss-lms-public-key-identifi). Notably, the additional OCTET STRING wrapping around the public key value has been removed. For compatibility, public key encodings generated by earlier JDK releases are still recognized.
