Abstract
As the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum era progresses, the threat of cyberattacks using large-scale quantum computers to decrypt TLS communication becomes feasible. Fortunately, multiple contributions from the cybersecurity community to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s open call ensure the standardization of post-quantum algorithms that non-quantum devices can use to defend against such attacks. Various hardware and software implementations have been explored at each phase of the open call to identify potential threats and evaluate key performance metrics, such as CPU usage and RAM footprint. In this context, our research design and propose a Power Monitoring Framework that enables the monitoring of power constraints of an infrastructure that supports NIST’s digital signatures and key establishment mechanisms. The proposed framework enables the benchmarking of power consumption and related metrics in both classical and Post-Quantum real-world infrastructure, contributing to the exploration of the Post-Quantum era’s performance, requirements and constraints.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
