Abstract

In one example an apparatus comprises a computer readable memory, an XMSS operations logic to manage XMSS functions, a chain function controller to manage chain function algorithms, a secure hash algorithm-2 (SHA2) accelerator, a secure hash algorithm-3 (SHA3) accelerator, and a register bank shared between the SHA2 accelerator and the SHA3 accelerator. Other examples may be described.
