Abstract:
This note describes a digital signature system based on cryptographic
hash functions, following the seminal work in this area. It
specifies a one-time signature scheme based on the work of Lamport,
Diffie, Winternitz, and Merkle (LDWM), and specifies a general
signature system using a Merkle tree. These systems provide
asymmetric authentication without using large integer mathematics,
and achieve a high security level. They are suitable for compact
implementations, are relatively simple to implement, and naturally
resist side-channel attacks. Unlike most other signature systems,
hash-based signatures would still be secure even if it proves
feasible for an attacker to build a quantum computer.
