Systems and methods for handshaking, without a certificate authority, to provide at least post-quantum communications security over a computer network. The method generates an authentication tag, hashing, by an initiator, a concatenation of unique identifiers of the initiator and a recipient. The method also generates an encrypted text, symmetrically encrypting, by the initiator that is configured to use a shared secret, a concatenation of the authentication tag and the unique identifiers of the initiator and the recipient. The method further includes sending the encrypted text from the initiator to a server. The method also includes symmetrically decrypting, by the server that is configured to use the shared secret, the encrypted text. The method further includes authenticating, by the server, the encrypted text. The method also includes generating a session key and providing the session key from the server to the initiator.
