One-Shot Signatures

Definition

One-Shot Signatures are cryptographic signature schemes designed to be used securely only once. These signatures offer strong security guarantees but become insecure if the same private key is used to sign multiple messages. They are often simpler and more computationally efficient than reusable signature schemes, making them suitable for specific applications where single-use is guaranteed. Lamport signatures are a classic example of this type of cryptographic primitive.
