X25519MLKEM1024 is a higher-security post-quantum hybrid combining X25519 with ML-KEM-1024 (Kyber-1024). ML-KEM-1024 provides NIST security level 5, equivalent to approximately AES-256, offering maximum quantum resistance among standardized algorithms. This variant is intended for applications requiring the highest security margins against future quantum computers, such as long-term secrets or classified communications. The larger key size results in performance trade-offs: ML-KEM-1024 keys are approximately 30% larger than ML-KEM-768, and operations are slightly slower. Browser support is more limited than ML-KEM-768 variants, as the industry consensus favors ML-KEM-768 as the standard security level for most applications.
Role in JA3 Fingerprinting
The x25519mlkem1024 group is used for ECDHE key exchange in TLS, providing perfect forward secrecy. Different browsers and HTTP clients advertise different supported groups, making this a key component of JA3 fingerprints.
Fingerprinting Impact: The order and selection of supported groups reveals browser type, version, and security preferences.
