The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) represents the most significant cryptographic migration in the history of the Internet. With NIST formalizing FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA), systems architects must re-evaluate TLS handshake latency, packet fragmentation, and memory topologies across distributed edges.
In this deep architectural breakdown, we analyze:
- ML-KEM (Kyber) parameter sets and public key sizing
- Hybrid X25519+ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation in TLS 1.3
- Eliminating MTU fragmentation and TCP buffer pressure
- OpenSSL 3.4 and BoringSSL runtime configurations
