arXiv:2610.11107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-quantum TLS at an IoT gateway must protect many device connections without large increases in handshake delay, CPU cost, or network traffic. HQC provides code-based diversity beyond ML-KEM, but its computation and ciphertext sizes can increase these costs. We optimize HQC for x86 processors with AVX2, AVX-512, and the Galois Field New Instructions (GFNI), and integrate the resulting implementations into TLS 1.3. We extend branch-free Toom-Coo
Editorial Analysis
Enterprises planning post-quantum migration for IoT infrastructure gain a viable code-based alternative to lattice-only approaches, reducing single-algorithm dependency.
