Addresses the practical risks of stateful hash-based signature schemes, whose security depends on never reusing a state index. The report characterises the state object and the vulnerabilities and operational failures that poor state handling can cause, offers guidance on mitigating them, and helps implementers judge whether such a scheme fits their application, with examples of suitable and unsuitable deployments.
