arXiv:2610.13026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Matter's first post-quantum change protects device attestation with ML-DSA, but its operational handshake, CASE, still derives session keys from P-256 ECDH, so recorded traffic can be decrypted once a quantum computer exists. We quantify the cost of moving CASE to ML-KEM and post-quantum signatures over Thread, where frames carry at most 127 bytes and a Matter message at most 1178 bytes.
