This document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 encoding
formats for the following stateful Hash-Based Signature (HBS)
schemes: Hierarchical Signature System (HSS), eXtended Merkle
Signature Scheme (XMSS), and XMSS (a multi-tree variant of XMSS).
This specification applies to the Internet X.509 Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) when digital signatures are used to sign
certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs).
This document is a product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and
SMIME Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
