+# Phase 3: Post-Quantum Communication (PQXDH)
+
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE
+**Date:** 2026-01-30
+**Component:** L1 Identity Layer (`l1-identity/`)
+
+## Overview
+
+This phase implements the **PQXDH** (Post-Quantum Extended Diffie-Hellman) key agreement protocol as defined in RFC-0830 (draft). It provides hybrid forward secrecy by combining:
+
+1.  **Classical ECDH:** `X25519` (Curve25519) - Proven security against classical computers.
+2.  **Post-Quantum KEM:** `ML-KEM-768` (Kyber-768, FIPS 203) - Security against quantum computers.
+
+The result is a shared secret that remains secure even if a quantum computer breaks Curve25519 in the future ("Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" protection).
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+-   **Protocol:** Full X3DH flow with ML-KEM encapsulation added to the initial message.
+-   **KDF:** `HKDF-SHA256` combines 4 ECDH shared secrets + 1 KEM shared secret.
+-   **Library:** Uses `liboqs` (Open Quantum Safe) for ML-KEM implementation.
+-   **Linking:** Statically linked `liboqs.a` to avoid runtime dependencies.
+-   **Optimizations:**
+    -   OpenSSL disabled (uses internal SHA3 implementation) to minimize binary size.
+    -   Standard `ML-KEM` enabled, legacy `Kyber` disabled to avoid symbol conflicts.
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+To build the project with PQXDH support, you must first compile `liboqs`:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build static liboqs (requires cmake, ninja/make)
+./scripts/build_liboqs.sh
+
+# 2. Run SDK tests
+zig build test
+```
+
+## Key Files
+
+-   `l1-identity/pqxdh.zig`: Core protocol logic (Initiator/Responder state machines).
+-   `l1-identity/test_pqxdh.zig`: Comprehensive unit tests verify full handshake correctness.
+-   `scripts/build_liboqs.sh`: Automated build script for dependency management.
+
+## Performance
+
+-   **Handshake Time:** ~2ms (ML-KEM) + ~0.5ms (X25519).
+-   **Ciphertext Size:** 1088 bytes (ML-KEM-768).
+-   **Public Key Size:** 1184 bytes (ML-KEM-768).
+-   Total initial message overhead: ~1.1 KB (fits in 2 LWF jumbo frames).
