Performance

Independent cycle-count measurements of the NGCC Round 1 candidates. Each system summary reports ICCS-facing parameter sets, primitive operations, and the public-key schemes' share spent in ICCS placeholder hash functions, and hash timings relative to the ICCS placeholder pseudoXOF with the same message length and output width, itself timed alongside the ICCS helpers. Per-candidate pages retain every measured implementation, including non-ICCS variants omitted from the aggregate table.

The symmetric cryptography survey records how each public-key submission implements hashing and randomness. Per-candidate pages include the measurement method, KAT status, sizes, memory proxies and raw-evidence index. The external-size audit explains how public-key, ciphertext, signature and key-exchange bandwidth figures are counted.
