Brian and David-Sarah wrote [a simulator]source:trunk/misc/simulators/hashbasedsig.py or two to explore performance trade-offs in (stateless) hash-based signature parameters. The output of one run with the following parameters is this (note that the signing times include regeneration of per-message signing keys from a small long-term private key): ```
