- Strobe
KkPqc Handshake - In-progress KK PQC handshake — holds the ephemeral and static keys until msg2 arrives.
- Strobe
KkPqc Initiator - Reusable initiator config for the Strobe KK fully-PQC handshake.
- Strobe
KkPqc Responder - Responder side of the Strobe KK fully-PQC handshake.
Enums§
Constants§
- KK_
PQC_ MSG1_ LEN - Length of the first handshake message (initiator → responder). CME ciphertext (208) + ML-KEM-1024 ephemeral pk (1568) + MAC (16).
- KK_
PQC_ MSG2_ LEN - Length of the second handshake message (responder → initiator). ML-KEM-1024 ciphertext (1568) + CME ciphertext to initiator (208) + MAC (16).
