”Conversely, the fast version prioritizes speed over signature size, minimizing 
the time required to generate and verify signatures.”

This is incorrect. The “f” versions only have faster key generation and 
signing. They have slower verification.

Cheers,

Tiru,

Is SLH-DSA considered a practical option for TLS end-entity certificates?

Under realistic network conditions, TLS handshakes with full SLH-DSA 
certificate chains seem to be about 5-10 times slower than traditional 
certificate chains and, in some cases, can take on the order of seconds.  See, 
for example, the results in https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/071, 
https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/1447, https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/1728103 and 
https://thomwiggers.nl/post/tls-measurements/.

I agree that there’s an argument for using SLH-DSA in root certificates, but 
I’m surprised it’s being proposed for the full chain.

Thanks for doing this work.  I hope the TLS WG will promptly adopt it.
