Post-Quantum Hybrid Security Analysis

A reproducible research notebook providing a structured security and performance analysis of hybrid post-quantum cryptographic architectures combining:

• ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber, NIST standardized)
• HKDF (NIST-compliant key derivation)
• AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption

This study evaluates security parameter harmonization and performance implications under explicit quantum adversary models.
