### A utility library for SLH-DSA post-quantum hashing and verification

A compact and lightweight library for **SLH-DSA (Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm)**, a post-quantum cryptographic standard providing robust security against classical and quantum attacks. SLH-DSA uses hash-based cryptography to ensure secure key generation, message signing, and signature verification.

## Features

- Generate **SLH-DSA key pairs**.

- Sign and verify messages.

- Supports multiple parameter sets (e.g., SHAKE-128F, SHA2-128F).

- Thread-safe supporting concurrency.

- Tests included.

## Installation

```

dotnet add package Soenneker.Hashing.Slhdsa

```

## Usage

### 1. Generate a public and private key pair

```csharp

(string privateKey, string publicKey) = SlhDsaHashingUtil.GenerateKeyPair(); // Keys are Base64 strings

```

### 2. Sign the payload with the private key

```csharp

string signature = SlhDsaHashingUtil.SignMessage("Hello, SLH-DSA!", privateKey); // Signaure is a Base64 string

```

### 3. Verify the signature with the public key

```csharp

bool isValid = SlhDsaHashingUtil.VerifySignature("Hello, SLH-DSA!", signature, publicKey);

```

### How to specify the optional parameter set:

```csharp

var parameterSet = SlhDsaParameterType.SLH_DSA_SHAKE_128F;

(string privateKey, string publicKey) = SlhDsaHashingUtil.GenerateKeyPair(parameterSet);

string signature = SlhDsaHashingUtil.SignMessage("Hello, SLH-DSA!", privateKey, parameterSet);

bool isValid = SlhDsaHashingUtil.VerifySignature("Hello, SLH-DSA!", signature, publicKey, parameterSet);

```
