Missing support for parameter sets that use SHA256/192 hashes from draft-fluhrer-lms-more-parm-sets

Open ymoyal1 opened this issue 7 months ago • 5 comments

NIST.SP.800-208 and draft-fluhrer-lms-more-parm-sets/ define extra parameter set for LMS and HSS algorithms.

Support for these parameter sets was added to https://github.com/cisco/hash-sigs/tree/192 also.

The issue is asking to add the support to liboqs as well.

We'd be happy to have them. Would you consider submitting a pull request with the code?

no unfortunately i won't be able to submit a pull request with the code.

Understood. I'll label it as "help wanted" in case someone else is browsing for an issue they can help with.

It seems like this has already been supported in Cisco's branch: https://github.com/cisco/hash-sigs/tree/shake-support

So we will need to pull these changes into libOQS

@h2parson began work on this, see https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/pull/2207 But the effort is being deferred.
