Experiment plan

Independent variables

  1. Key exchange group:
    • X25519 (baseline)
    • X25519MLKEM768 (hybrid PQ)
  2. Payload size:
    • 1 KB, 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB
  3. Concurrency:
    • 1, 10, 100
  4. Build profile:
    • release
    • optional: RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"

Dependent variables (metrics)

  • handshake latency (ms)
  • TTLB (ms)
  • optional: CPU cycles / instructions (perf stat)
  • optional: memory (valgrind/massif)
  • optional: binary size

Controls

  • same server binary for a given mode
  • same client binary for a given mode
  • fixed CPU governor (performance) if possible
  • fixed network conditions per experiment
  • fixed rustls/aws-lc-rs versions
  • time sync not required (only client-side monotonic clocks)

Recommended run matrix

Start small to validate correctness:

  • (mode: 2) × (payload: 4) × (concurrency: 2) = 16 cells Then expand to concurrency=100.

Statistical reporting

  • collect N>=200 iterations per cell (after warmup)
  • report: p50, p95, p99, mean, stddev
