'''Hash-based cryptography''' is the generic term for constructions of [[cryptographic primitive]]s based on one-time signature schemes combined with [[Merkle tree]]s. So far, hash-based cryptography is limited to [[digital signature]]s schemes such as the [[Merkle signature scheme]]. [[Lamport signature]]s are a an example of a one-time signature scheme that can be combined with a hashMerkle tree structure. Hash-based cryptography is a type of [[post-quantum cryptography]].
