Use of the HSS/LMS Hash-Based Signature Algorithm with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
RFC 8778, “Use of the HSS/LMS Hash-Based Signature Algorithm with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2020 by R. Housley. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the conventions for using the Hierarchical Signature System (HSS) / Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) hash-based signature algorithm with the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) syntax. The HSS/LMS algorithm is one form of hash-based digital signature; it is described in RFC 8554.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
