The Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Handshake
Implement a post-quantum cryptographic key exchange on a constrained embedded platform and establish a secure session. Measure and compare handshake time, memory footprint, and CPU utilization against a classical TLS handshake.
The system must demonstrate real interoperability — not just simulation.
How to win the challenge?
• Fastest successful PQC handshake
• Lowest memory overhead
• Stable operation on constrained hardware
• Clean hybrid classical + PQC implementation
