+/**
+ * Lamport one-time signatures (OTS) are a hash-based post-quantum signature scheme.
+ *
+ * <p>The scheme is based on a private key consisting of 256 pairs of random 32-byte secrets,
+ * one pair per bit position of a SHA-256 digest. The public key contains the SHA-256 hashes of
+ * those secrets.
+ *
+ * <p>To sign a message, the algorithm hashes the message and reveals the secret corresponding to
+ * each bit value in the digest. Verification recomputes the digest and checks that each revealed
+ * secret hashes to the expected public-key value.
+ *
+ * <p>This implementation is educational and intentionally keeps dependencies minimal. Each key pair
+ * is strictly one-time: signing a second message with the same key is rejected.
+ *
+ * <p>Reference: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_signature">Wikipedia: Lamport signature</a>
