## What it is
A TypeScript library implementing hash-based digital signatures, specifically the WOTS+ (Winternitz One-Time Signature Plus) scheme. It is published as an npm package with test coverage via Vitest.

## Use cases
- sign and verify messages with WOTS+ one-time signatures in TypeScript
- implement post-quantum-safe hash-based signatures in a Node.js project
- add WOTS+ signature verification to a blockchain application
- generate one-time signature key pairs in JavaScript
- experiment with hash-based cryptography without native dependencies

## When to choose
- you need WOTS+ signatures in a TypeScript or JavaScript codebase
- you want a pure-TypeScript, dependency-light hash-based signature implementation
- you are building on Quip Network or a compatible protocol requiring WOTS+

## When to avoid
- you need production multi-use signatures like XMSS, SPHINCS+, or LMS rather than one-time signatures
- you require side-channel-hardened, audited cryptographic code for high-security deployments
- your project is not in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: cryptography, security, serialization
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: hash-based-signatures, wots-plus, post-quantum, digital-signatures, npm-package, cryptography, nodejs, typescript
