"*ESK" (encrypted session-key) packets are a family of mechanisms for encapsulation of symmetric key material. There are two branches:
- [PKESK](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#name-public-key-encrypted-sessio): Uses asymmetric OpenPGP key material to protect a session key, and
- [SKESK](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#name-symmetric-key-encrypted-ses): Uses passphrases to protect the symmetric key material, instead of OpenPGP asymmetric key material (this is less commonly used).
