Exploring hardware implementation feasibility of post-quantum cryptography in embedded systems: Evaluation of NIST-standardized ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA on ESP32-C6
The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) raises practical concerns regarding the feasibility of standardized algorithms on resource-constrained embedded platforms. While National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-selected PQC schemes are designed for broad applicability, their real-world performance...
