Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking of PQC CRYSTALS-Kyber on Embedded Devices

The growing threat posed by quantum computing to classical cryptographic primitives has prompted significant research activities on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Among these, CRYSTALS-Kyber has emerged as a promising candidate due to its IND-CCA2 security and efficient performance. This paper presents a comprehensive benchmarking study focused on evaluating the performance of CRYSTALS-Kyber on embedded devices, with a particular emphasis on the popular Raspberry Pi platform.
