On this day, all signatures should use the XMSS (hash-based signature system)

#XMSS #Xmas

It looks like some people still believe in the magical depleting entropy, from the #XMSS reference implementation...

"XMSS provides strong security guarantees and is even secure when the collision resistance of the underlying hash function is broken ... Unlike most other signature systems, hash-based signatures can so far withstand known attacks using quantum computers. The SASL XMSS project's goal is to implement the XMSS system as a SASL mechanism in one of the publicly available open source SASL libraries."

#Botan is a #Cpp #cryptography toolkit.

Botan provides many cryptographic primitives including hash algorithms (#SHA, #Blake, MD), ciphers (#AES, #Blowfish, #DES), signature algorithms (#RSA, #ECDH), with #quantum resistant algorithms (#XMSS, #McEliece, #NewHope). Botan also provides functionality for working with schemes using these algorithms, like #TLS.
