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
