In general forward security involves generating a new key for each conversation with Diffie-Hellman or similar.

According to https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/5610/diffie-hellm..., Diffie-Hellman is not post-quantum secure, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersingular_isogeny_key_exch... is a DH alternative that is.

Which is partly why we wrote and open sourced a SIDH implementation in TLS 1.3: https://blog.cloudflare.com/sidh-go/

Do you have any performance numbers for SIDH vs ECDHE?

Cloudflare has a Go implementation of SIDH with p751: https://blog.cloudflare.com/sidh-go/

Here’s an overview of the performance from a patch by Armando Faz Hernandez: https://github.com/cloudflare/p751sidh/pull/2
