# tls-pq-bench
Reproducible benchmarking harness for comparing TLS 1.3 key exchange
configurations:
- Classical: X25519
- Hybrid PQ: X25519MLKEM768 (via `rustls` + `aws_lc_rs`)
Primary metrics:
- Handshake latency
- TTLB (Time-to-Last-Byte)
Secondary metrics:
- CPU cycles (`perf`)
- Memory behavior (optional: Valgrind/Massif)
- Binary size (optional)
This repo is intended as the implementation for the empirical part of the
bachelor thesis (following the course thesis methodology).
## Non-goals
- Not a general-purpose TLS load tester
- Not a cryptographic audit tool
- Not a middlebox compatibility test suite (can be added later)
## Quick start (local dev)
1. Install Rust stable and Linux tooling:
- `perf`, `tcpdump` (optional), `jq`, `python3`
2. Build:
- `cargo build --release`
## Reproducibility notes
All experiments should record:
- commit hash
- rustc version
- CPU model and governor
- kernel version
- rustls and aws-lc-rs versions
- exact CLI parameters and network profile
