EXECUTIVE ABSTRACT
Production telemetry from 38 Anycast POPs proving NIST-standardized ML-KEM-1024 defeats harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks without breaking latency budgets.
ARCHITECTURAL BENCHMARK & KERNEL ANALYSIS
Larger Kyber-1024 key shares previously triggered TCP initial-congestion-window fragmentation on lossy mobile networks. Combining TLS 1.3 session ticket resumption with AVX-512 polynomial multiplication keeps median handshake overhead under 0.38ms.
CISO IMPLEMENTATION CHECKLIST
Enable hybrid X25519MLKEM1024 on all external ingress POPs · Tune initial TCP cwnd to 16 segments · Audit HSM firmware for FIPS 203 ML-KEM readiness.
