It specifies a one-time signature scheme and a general > signature scheme. These systems provide asymmetric authentication > without using large integer mathematics and can achieve a high > security level. They are suitable for compact implementations, are > relatively simple to implement, and are naturally resistant to > side-channel attacks. Unlike many other signature systems, hash-based > signatures would still be secure even if it proves feasible for an > attacker to build a quantum computer. > > This document is a product of the Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) > in the IRTF.
