Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on post-quantum cryptography in connection with the development of quantum computers and the growing need for secure digital communication.

The thesis summarizes the current state, principles, and standardization efforts related to quantum-resistant algorithms according to NIST and NÚKIB recommendations. The main part is devoted to the hybrid algorithm X25519MLKEM768, its implementation and testing in a Python environment.

The results are compared with other approaches in terms of performance, security, and data overhead. The thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the deployment possibilities of modern cryptographic algorithms and highlights the main advantages and limitations of their practical use.
