This NIST recommendation specifies stateful hash-based digital signature schemes and the conditions under which they can be used securely. It explains the role of hash functions and one-time signatures and why keeping track of signing state is essential to the security of the resulting system.
The publication covers approved parameter sets, key generation, signing and verification, with implementation requirements and supporting examples. Its treatment connects the mathematical construction with operational responsibilities such as preventing the reuse of signing keys. The complete October 2020 recommendation retains all original technical detail, test material and references.
