I'd rather this be cast in terms of online/offline. The question isn't how much memory is needed, but whether the amount needed is fixed or unbounded (e.g., proportional to message length). Anyways, I think we should do #4, a rephrasing of #3, though I'm open to all options listed thus far: #4: provide both online and not-online signature schemes Users could use an offline scheme in an online way and hash the message themselves, but it seems best to do it in the scheme itself.
