LAMPS has
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-sigs/ which
is in WGLC and TLS/IPSec have individual drafts which leverage
draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-sigs. TLS/IPsec handshake transcript binding
prevents MiTM from a single-component compromise. In the case of JOSE,
mutual key binding and cross-signing would prevent the duplicate attack
mentioned by John to achieve SUF-CMA.
