Cross-Platform Performance and Security Evaluation of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms on Resource-Constrained Devices

This article presents a comparative analysis of the performance and security of the main post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms standardized or evaluated by NIST: Kyber, Dilithium, Falcon, and SPHINCS+. The study focuses on their behavior on resource-constrained devices (IoT, embedded systems, and microcontrollers), analyzing execution time, memory consumption, key and signature size, and tradeoffs between efficiency and security level. The results provide a practical perspective on the algorithms most suitable for multi-platform implementations in the context of the transition to post-quantum security. submitted by /u/AvailableOffice9883 [link] [comments]
