Previous code allocated an array on the stack of mlen bytes, but it should be possible to also sign heap-space messages. By relying on the fact that sm and m fit the message + signature, we move the message so that 4*n bytes of prefix can be added. |

XMSS reference code
This repository contains the reference implementation that accompanies the Internet Draft "XMSS: Extended Hash-Based Signatures", draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures
.
This reference implementation supports all parameter sets as defined in the Draft at run-time (specified by prefixing the public and private keys with a 32-bit oid
). Implementations that want to use compile-time parameter sets can remove the struct xmss_params
function parameter.
While the behavior of the code in this repository is supposed to be stable, the API is not yet fully complete. In particular, the wrapper for run-time parameters does not yet support the back-end functions that make use of BDS traversal. This means that the xmss_core_fast.c
back-end is somewhat hard to use. This is the most immediate open TODO, and will be resolved soon.
When using the current code base, please be careful, expect changes and watch this document for further documentation.
Dependencies
For the SHA-2 hash functions (i.e. SHA-256 and SHA-512), we rely on OpenSSL. Make sure to install the OpenSSL development headers. On Debian-based systems, this is achieved by installing the OpenSSL development package libssl-dev
.
