Description

The handshake test on master is slower because it started to offer and use X25519MLKEM768. We should consider to have handshake tests with specific settings, so that we can compare:

  • different branches
  • different algorithm combinations

Research direction

Start with the handshake test on master and identify how its current settings are selected. Define how tests can specify individual settings and algorithm combinations, then verify that results can be compared across branches and configurations. The payload does not name a source file or test command, so locate those from the handshake test entry point.
