3. Functional testing (KAT)

Each library was checked against the submitted KAT vectors (SHA-256 manifest sign-31/kat.sha256 in the harness) before timing.

instance	build flags	KAT
`TSUOV_128`	guide	PASS
`TSUOV_256`	guide	PASS
`TSUOV_512`	guide	PASS

5. Resource consumption

Static memory is approximated by the library's loadable ELF segments; peak memory is the process high-water mark (VmHWM) including the benchmark driver and libc, so both are upper-bound proxies rather than isolated algorithm memory.

instance	operation	static: ELF image (bytes)	baseline RSS	peak RSS
`TSUOV_128`	keygen	35116	1428 KiB	1504 KiB
`TSUOV_128`	sign	35116	3468 KiB	3584 KiB
`TSUOV_128`	verify	35116	1488 KiB	1560 KiB
`TSUOV_256`	keygen	47276	1432 KiB	1568 KiB

`TSUOV_256`	verify	47276	1644 KiB	1712 KiB
`TSUOV_512`	keygen	158216	1448 KiB	1812 KiB
`TSUOV_512`	sign	158216	1744 KiB	2072 KiB
`TSUOV_512`	verify	158216	2008 KiB	2132 KiB

6. Transmission and storage overhead

External public-key, ciphertext and signature sizes follow the curated performance/external_sizes.csv catalog; secret-key and shared-secret lengths remain API figures. See the size audit for disagreements.

instance	public key	secret key	signature
`TSUOV_128`	779	32	896
`TSUOV_256`	2170	64	2412
`TSUOV_512`	21319	128	2939

Symmetric primitives

Survey verdict: ICCS-only

Share of each operation spent in the ICCS placeholder hash functions and in the ICCS DRNG (reference build, measured in the same run with link-time wrappers):
