Added Extended Hash-Based Signatures (XMSS)
[1] XMSS: Extended Hash-Based Signatures, draft-itrf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-06 Release: July 2016. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/ draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures/?include_text=1 Provides XMSS_PublicKey and XMSS_PrivateKey classes as well as implementations for the Botan interfaces PK_Ops::Signature and PK_Ops::Verification. XMSS has been integrated into the Botan test bench, signature generation and verification can be tested independently by invoking "botan-test xmss_sign" and "botan-test xmss_verify" - Some headers that are not required to be exposed to users of the library have to be declared as public in `info.txt`. Declaring those headers private will cause the amalgamation build to fail. The following headers have been declared public inside `info.txt`, even though they are only intended for internal use: * atomic.h * xmss_hash.h * xmss_index_registry.h * xmss_address.h * xmss_common_ops.h * xmss_tools.h * xmss_wots_parameters.h * xmss_wots_privatekey.h * xmss_wots_publickey.h - XMSS_Verification_Operation Requires the "randomness" parameter out of the XMSS signature. "Randomness" is part of the prefix that is hashed *before* the message. Since the signature is unknown till sign() is called, all message content has to be buffered. For large messages this can be inconvenient or impossible. **Possible solution**: Change PK_Ops::Verification interface to take the signature as constructor argument, and provide a setter method to be able to update reuse the instance on multiple signatures. Make sign a parameterless member call. This solution requires interface changes in botan. **Suggested workaround** for signing large messages is to not sign the message itself, but to precompute the message hash manually using Botan::HashFunctio and sign the message hash instead of the message itself. - Some of the available test vectors for the XMSS signature verification have been commented out in order to reduce testbench runtime.
