contents We present \textsc{CHOKE}, a novel code-based hybrid key-encapsulation mechanism (KEM) designed to securely and efficiently transmit multiple session keys simultaneously. By encoding $n$ independent session keys with an individually secure linear code and encapsulating each resulting coded symbol using a separate KEM, \textsc{CHOKE} achieves computational individual security -- each key remains secure as long as at least one underlying KEM remains unbroken. Compared to traditional serial or combiner-based hybrid schemes, \textsc{CHOKE} reduces computational and communication costs by an $n$-fold factor. Furthermore, we show that the communication cost of our construction is optimal under the requirement that each KEM must be used at least once.
