1. Introduction
Stateful Hash-Based Signature Schemes (S-HBS) such as HSS, XMSS and
XMSS^MT combine Merkle trees with One Time Signatures (OTS) in order
to provide digital signature schemes that remain secure even when
quantum computers become available. Their theoretic security is well
understood and depends only on the security of the underlying hash
function. As such they can serve as an important building block for
quantum computer resistant information and communication technology.
The private key of S-HBS is a finite collection of OTS keys, hence
only a limited number of messages can be signed and the private key's
state must be updated and persisted after signing to prevent reuse of
OTS keys. While the right selection of algorithm parameters would
allow a private key to sign a virtually unbounded number of messages
(e.g. 2^60), this is at the cost of a larger signature size and
longer signing time. Due to the statefulness of the private key and
the limited number of signatures that can be created, S-HBS might not
be appropriate for use in interactive protocols. However, in some
use cases the deployment of S-HBS may be appropriate. Such use cases
are described and discussed later in Section 4.
2. Conventions and Definitions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Notation
The parameter 'n' is the security parameter, given in bytes. In
practice this is typically aligned to the standard output length of
the hash function in use, i.e. either 24, 32 or 64 bytes. The height
of a single tree is typically given by the parameter 'h'. The number
of levels of trees is either called 'L' (HSS) or 'd' (XMSS, XMSS^MT).
[EDNOTE: Should we delete this section? The parameters are not used
in this document.]

Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
4. Use Cases of S-HBS in X.509
As many cryptographic algorithms that are considered to be quantum-
resistant, S-HBS have several pros and cons regarding their practical
usage. On the positive side they are considered to be secure against
a classical as well as a quantum adversary, and a secure
instantiation of S-HBS may always be built as long as a
cryptographically secure hash function exists. Moreover, S-HBS offer
small public key sizes, and, in comparison to other post-quantum
signature schemes, the S-HBS can offer relatively small signature
sizes (for certain parameter sets). While key generation and
signature generation may take longer than classical alternatives,
fast and minimal verification routines can be built. The major
negative aspect is the statefulness. Private keys always have to be
handled in a secure manner, S-HBS necessitate a special treatment of
the private key in order to avoid security incidents like signature
forgery [MCGREW], [SP800208]. Therefore, for S-HBS, a secure
environment MUST be used for key generation and key management.
Note that, in general, root CAs offer such a secure environment and
the number of issued signatures (including signed certificates and
CRLs) is often moderate due to the fact that many root CAs delegate
OCSP services or the signing of end-entity certificates to other
entities (such as subordinate CAs) that use stateless signature
schemes. Therefore, many root CAs should be able to handle the
required state management, and S-HBS offer a viable solution.
As the above reasoning for root CAs usually does not apply for
subordinate CAs, it is NOT RECOMMENDED for subordinate CAs to use
S-HBS for issuing end-entity certificates. Moreover, S-HBS MUST NOT
be used for end-entity certificates.
However, S-HBS MAY be used for code signing certificates, since they
are suitable and recommended in such non-interactive contexts. For
example, see the recommendations for software and firmware signing in
[CNSA2.0]. Some manufactures use common and well-established key
formats like X.509 for their code signing and update mechanisms.
Also there are multi-party IoT ecosystems where publicly trusted code
signing certificates are useful.
5. Public Key Algorithms
Certificates conforming to [RFC5280] can convey a public key for any
public key algorithm. The certificate indicates the algorithm
through an algorithm identifier. An algorithm identifier consists of
an OID and optional parameters.
Bashiri, et al. Expires 25 August 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
In this document, we define new OIDs for identifying the different
stateful hash-based signature algorithms. An additional OID is
defined in [RFC8708] and repeated here for convenience. For all of
the OIDs, the parameters MUST be absent.
5.1. HSS Public Keys
The object identifier and public key algorithm identifier for HSS is
defined in [RFC8708]. The definitions are repeated here for
reference.
The object identifier for an HSS public key is id-alg-hss-lms-
hashsig:
id-alg-hss-lms-hashsig OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
smime(16) alg(3) 17 }
Note that the id-alg-hss-lms-hashsig algorithm identifier is also
referred to as id-alg-mts-hashsig. This synonym is based on the
terminology used in an early draft of the document that became
[RFC8554].
The HSS public key identifier is as follows:
pk-HSS-LMS-HashSig PUBLIC-KEY ::= {
IDENTIFIER id-alg-hss-lms-hashsig
KEY HSS-LMS-HashSig-PublicKey
PARAMS ARE absent
CERT-KEY-USAGE
{ digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyCertSign, cRLSign } }
The HSS public key is defined as follows:
HSS-LMS-HashSig-PublicKey ::= OCTET STRING
See [SP800208] and [RFC8554] for more information on the contents and
format of an HSS public key. Note that the single-tree signature
scheme LMS is instantiated as HSS with number of levels being equal
to 1.
5.2. XMSS Public Keys
The object identifier for an XMSS public key is id-alg-xmss-hashsig:
Bashiri, et al. Expires 25 August 2024 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
id-alg-xmss-hashsig OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
itu-t(0) identified-organization(4) etsi(0) reserved(127)
etsi-identified-organization(0) isara(15) algorithms(1)
asymmetric(1) xmss(13) 0 }
The XMSS public key identifier is as follows:
pk-XMSS-HashSig PUBLIC-KEY ::= {
IDENTIFIER id-alg-xmss-hashsig
KEY XMSS-HashSig-PublicKey
PARAMS ARE absent
CERT-KEY-USAGE
{ digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyCertSign, cRLSign } }
The XMSS public key is defined as follows:
XMSS-HashSig-PublicKey ::= OCTET STRING
See [SP800208] and [RFC8391] for more information on the contents and
format of an XMSS public key.
5.3. XMSS^MT Public Keys
The object identifier for an XMSS^MT public key is id-alg-xmssmt-
hashsig:
id-alg-xmssmt-hashsig OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
itu-t(0) identified-organization(4) etsi(0) reserved(127)
etsi-identified-organization(0) isara(15) algorithms(1)
asymmetric(1) xmssmt(14) 0 }
The XMSS^MT public key identifier is as follows:
pk-XMSSMT-HashSig PUBLIC-KEY ::= {
IDENTIFIER id-alg-xmssmt-hashsig
KEY XMSSMT-HashSig-PublicKey
PARAMS ARE absent
CERT-KEY-USAGE
{ digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyCertSign, cRLSign } }
The XMSS^MT public key is defined as follows:
XMSSMT-HashSig-PublicKey ::= OCTET STRING
See [SP800208] and [RFC8391] for more information on the contents and
format of an XMSS^MT public key.

Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
6. Key Usage Bits
The intended application for the key is indicated in the keyUsage
certificate extension [RFC5280]. If the keyUsage extension is
present in a certificate that indicates id-alg-hss-lms-hashsig, id-
alg-xmss-hashsig, or id-alg-xmssmt-hashsig, then the following
requirements given in this section MUST be fulfilled.
If the keyUsage extension is present in a code signing certificate,
then it MUST contain at least one of the following values:
nonRepudiation; or
digitalSignature.
However, it MUST NOT contain other values.
If the keyUsage extension is present in a certification authority
certificate, then it MUST contain at least one of the following
values:
nonRepudiation; or
digitalSignature; or
keyCertSign; or
cRLSign.
However, it MUST NOT contain other values.
Note that for certificates that indicate id-alg-hss-lms-hashsig the
above definitions are more restrictive than the requirement defined
in Section 4 of [RFC8708].
7. Signature Algorithms
This section identifies OIDs for signing using HSS, XMSS, and
XMSS^MT. When these algorithm identifiers appear in the algorithm
field as an AlgorithmIdentifier, the encoding MUST omit the
parameters field. That is, the AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL be a
SEQUENCE of one component, one of the OIDs defined in the following
subsections.
The data to be signed is prepared for signing. For the algorithms
used in this document, the data is signed directly by the signature
algorithm, the data is not hashed before processing. Then, a private
key operation is performed to generate the signature value.
[EDNOTE: Should we delete the preceding paragraph?]
Bashiri, et al. Expires 25 August 2024 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
For HSS, the signature value is described in section 6.4 of
[RFC8554]. For XMSS and XMSS^MT the signature values are described
in sections B.2 and C.2 of [RFC8391], respectively. The octet string
representing the signature is encoded directly in the OCTET STRING
without adding any additional ASN.1 wrapping. For the Certificate
and CertificateList structures, the signature value is wrapped in the
"signatureValue" OCTET STRING field.
7.1. HSS Signature Algorithm
The HSS public key OID is also used to specify that an HSS signature
was generated on the full message, i.e. the message was not hashed
before being processed by the HSS signature algorithm.
id-alg-hss-lms-hashsig OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
smime(16) alg(3) 17 }
The HSS signature is defined as follows:
HSS-LMS-HashSig-Signature ::= OCTET STRING
See [SP800208] and [RFC8554] for more information on the contents and
format of an HSS signature.
7.2. XMSS Signature Algorithm
The XMSS public key OID is also used to specify that an XMSS
signature was generated on the full message, i.e. the message was not
hashed before being processed by the XMSS signature algorithm.
id-alg-xmss-hashsig OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
itu-t(0) identified-organization(4) etsi(0) reserved(127)
etsi-identified-organization(0) isara(15) algorithms(1)
asymmetric(1) xmss(13) 0 }
The XMSS signature is defined as follows:
XMSS-HashSig-Signature ::= OCTET STRING
See [SP800208] and [RFC8391] for more information on the contents and
format of an XMSS signature.
The signature generation MUST be performed according to 7.2 of
[SP800208].

Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
7.3. XMSS^MT Signature Algorithm
The XMSS^MT public key OID is also used to specify that an XMSS^MT
signature was generated on the full message, i.e. the message was not
hashed before being processed by the XMSS^MT signature algorithm.
id-alg-xmssmt-hashsig OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
itu-t(0) identified-organization(4) etsi(0) reserved(127)
etsi-identified-organization(0) isara(15) algorithms(1)
asymmetric(1) xmssmt(14) 0 }
The XMSS^MT signature is defined as follows:
XMSSMT-HashSig-Signature ::= OCTET STRING
See [SP800208] and [RFC8391] for more information on the contents and
format of an XMSS^MT signature.
The signature generation MUST be performed according to 7.2 of
[SP800208].
8. Key Generation
The key generation for XMSS and XMSS^MT MUST be performed according
to 7.2 of [SP800208]

10. Security Considerations
The security requirements of [SP800208] MUST be taken into account.
For S-HBS it is crucial to stress the importance of a correct state
management. If an attacker were able to obtain signatures for two
different messages created using the same OTS key, then it would
become computationally feasible for that attacker to create forgeries
[BH16]. As noted in [MCGREW] and [ETSI-TR-103-692], extreme care
needs to be taken in order to avoid the risk that an OTS key will be
reused accidentally. This is a new requirement that most developers
will not be familiar with and requires careful handling.
Various strategies for a correct state management can be applied:
Bashiri, et al. Expires 25 August 2024 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft HSS and XMSS for X.509 February 2024
* Implement a track record of all signatures generated by a key pair
associated to a S-HBS instance. This track record may be stored
outside the device which is used to generate the signature. Check
the track record to prevent OTS key reuse before a new signature
is released. Drop the new signature and hit your PANIC button if
you spot OTS key reuse.
* Use a S-HBS instance only for a moderate number of signatures such
that it is always practical to keep a consistent track record and
be able to unambiguously trace back all generated signatures.
* Apply the state reservation strategy described in Section 5 of
[MCGREW], where upcoming states are reserved in advance by the
signer. In this way the number of state synchronisations between
nonvolatile and volatile memory is reduced.
11. Backup and Restore Management
Certificate Authorities have high demands in order to ensure the
availability of signature generation throughout the validity period
of signing key pairs.
Usual backup and restore strategies when using a stateless signature
scheme (e.g. SLH-DSA) are to duplicate private keying material and
to operate redundant signing devices or to store and safeguard a copy
of the private keying material such that it can be used to set up a
new signing device in case of technical difficulties.
For S-HBS such straightforward backup and restore strategies will
lead to OTS reuse with high probability as a correct state management
is not guaranteed. Strategies for maintaining availability and
keeping a correct state are described in Section 7 of [SP800208].
12. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to assign a module OID from the "SMI for PKIX
Module Identifier" registry for the ASN.1 module in Section 6.
