System-Level Optimization Beyond Cryptographic Kernels: An ML-KEM Case Study on Arm Cortex-M7

Recent work on embedded post-quantum cryptography has focused primarily on instruction-level optimization, including arithmetic-kernel improvements, assembly tuning, register allocation, and instruction scheduling. Using the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM) on an Arm Cortex-M7 as a case study,...
