[Verse 1] When quantum machines crack RSA apart We need signatures built with a different heart Hash functions and trees become our shield SLH-DSA takes the cryptographic field One-time keys scattered like autumn leaves Each signature burns what it achieves No state to track, no counters to keep Stateless protection while others weep [Chorus] Sphincs Plus dancing through FIPS two-oh-five Hash trees branching, keeping secrets alive Trade signature size for quantum defense Merkle roots make the math make sense SLH-DSA, our post-quantum way Bigger packets but we're here to stay When qubits threaten what we used to trust Hash-based armor or we're quantum dust [Verse 2] Hypertrees towering with logarithmic height WOTS-Plus signatures burning bright Each leaf a promise, each branch a choice Few-Time-Signatures give us our voice Parameters juggling the triple threat Security, speed, and signature debt Smaller means slower, faster means fat Pick your poison in this crypto chat [Chorus] Sphincs Plus dancing through FIPS two-oh-five Hash trees branching, keeping secrets alive Trade signature size for quantum defense Merkle roots make the math make sense SLH-DSA, our post-quantum way Bigger packets but we're here to stay When qubits threaten what we used to trust Hash-based armor or we're quantum dust [Bridge] Winternitz parameters set the stage Higher numbers shrink the signature cage But verification climbs the cost Choose your battles or be quantum-tossed SHAKE-256 mixing up the hash While classical schemes turn into ash Stateless beauty with a hefty price Roll the quantum crypto dice [Chorus] Sphincs Plus dancing through FIPS two-oh-five Hash trees branching, keeping secrets alive Trade signature size for quantum defense Merkle roots make the math make sense SLH-DSA, our post-quantum way Bigger packets but we're here to stay When qubits threaten what we used to trust Hash-based armor or we're quantum dust [Outro] Tomorrow's attacks need yesterday's prep Hash-based signatures are our next step FIPS 205 stamps the quantum seal SLH-DSA makes the future real
