Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Digital signatures are used within X.509 Public Key Infrastructure
   such as X.509 certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), and
   to sign messages.  This document describes the conventions for using
   the Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (SLH-DSA) in
   X.509 Public Key Infrastructure.  The conventions for the associated
   signatures, subject public keys, and private keys are also described.

Working Group Summary

   There was some controversy about the inclusion of both pure mode and
   pre-hash mode.  It was resolved fairly quickly without any anger.  This
   document represents consensus.

Document Quality

   Some code has been written.
 
   ASN.1 is used.  Once a placeholder values are inserted for the module
   identifiers that will be assigned by IANA, the ASN.1 module in Appendix A
   compiler without error.  

   No other registrations are necessary.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Russ Housley. The Responsible
   Area Director is Deb Cooley.
