    Abstract: In one example an apparatus comprises a computer-readable memory, signature logic to compute a message hash of an input message using a secure hash algorithm, process the message hash to generate an array of secret key components for the input message, apply a hash chain function to the array of secret key components to generate an array of signature components, the hash chain function comprising a series of even-index hash chains and a series of odd-index hash chains, wherein the even-index hash chains and the odd-index hash chains generate a plurality of intermediate node values and a one-time public key component between the secret key components and the signature components and store at least some of the intermediate node values in the computer-readable memory for use in one or more subsequent signature operations. Other examples may be described.
