Raef Coles2ad6e612022-08-24 13:33:35 +01002 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
3 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
4 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
5 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
6 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead for
7 verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel, particularly
8 firmware images.
Raef Coles8ff6df52021-07-21 12:42:15 +01009 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
10 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only be
11 used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
