==Examples of hash-based signature schemes==

In addition to Merkle's seminal scheme, more recent hash-based signature schemes include the XMSS scheme, the Leighton-Micali (LMS) and the SPHINCS scheme. Most hash-based signature schemes are [[State (computer science)|stateful]], meaning that signing requires updating the secret key, unlike conventional digital signature schemes. The XMSS and LMS schemes are stateful, while the SPHINCS scheme is stateless. Two [[Internet Research Task Force|IRTF]] [[Internet Draft]]s on stateful hash-based schemes (XMSS and LMS) are currently active.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Hülsing|first1=Andreas|last2=Butin|first2=Denis|last3=Gazdag|first3=Stefan|last4=Mohaisen|first4=Aziz|title=draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-09 - XMSS: Extended Hash-Based Signatures|url=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures/|website=datatracker.ietf.org|publisher=IETF|language=en}}</ref>
