This research highlights the fragility of current cryptographic evaluations, demonstrating that minor adjustments in memory cost calculations can completely invert the perceived security rankings of post-quantum schemes like ML-KEM. By integrating hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 handshakes, the study offers a practical mitigation strategy that significantly reduces compromise risks despite these shifting assessment landscapes. The findings are critical for developers implementing quantum-resistant protocols who must account for nuanced resource constraints to ensure robust security.
