SPHINCS+

SPHINCS+ is a post quantum digital signature scheme that is based on cryptographic hash functions. As a part of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization process, a version of the scheme was elected by the NIST to be the basis of the Stateless Hash-based Digital Signature Algorithm (SLH-DSA) and was standardized as FIPS 205.
