Information security. Digital signatures with appendix. Stateful hash-based mechanisms | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies stateful digital signature mechanisms with appendix, where the level of security is determined by the security properties of the underlying hash function. This document also provides requirements for implementing basic state management, which is needed for the secure deployment of the stateful schemes described in this document.
