Layered Performance Analysis of TLS 1.3 Handshakes: Classical, Hybrid, and Pure Post-Quantum Key Exchange

In this paper, we present a laboratory study focused on the impact of post-quantum cryptography PQC algorithms on multiple layers of stateful HTTP over TLS transactions: the TCP handshake, the intermediate TCP-TLS layer, the TLS handshake, the intermediate TLS layer, and the HTTP application laye...
