Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed for measuring one or more metrics of a cryptographic algorithm in a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) system. An example method includes obtaining a set of operating parameters comprising an algorithm of interest, wherein the algorithm of interest is a PQC algorithm, a legacy algorithm operating in a hybrid PQC system, or a variant thereof, and wherein the algorithm of interest is wrapped to present, via a wrapped algorithm of interest, a standardized interface to a sequence of benchmark operations. The example method further includes observing benchmark values of the one or more metrics, wherein the one or more metrics pertain to a designated benchmark operation from the sequence of benchmark operations. The example method further includes outputting a report comprising the benchmark values of the one or more metrics.
