Subject: Protocol Action: 'Use of the HSS/LMS Hash-based Signature Algorithm with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE)' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-cose-hash-sig-09.txt)
The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Use of the HSS/LMS Hash-based Signature Algorithm with CBOR Object
Signing and Encryption (COSE)'
(draft-ietf-cose-hash-sig-09.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
Working Group.

Technical Summary
This document specifies the conventions for using the Hierarchical
Signature System (HSS) / Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) hash-based
signature algorithm with the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption
(COSE) syntax. The HSS/LMS algorithm is one form of hash-based
digital signature; it is described in RFC 8554.
Working Group Summary
The document has undergone several revisions since WG last call. These revisions were
needed to address comments from the last call and to update a reference to
a draft that has since been published.
Document Quality
There are no known implementations. This document specifies
conventions for using HSS/LMS hash-based signature algorithm with COSE that
are needed by other working groups.
Beyond normal WG processes, Jim Schaad and John Mattsson did an in-depth
reviews and had no substantive issues.
