+# PQ Bindings C Rust
+
+C bindings for the post-quantum cryptography library [hash-sig](https://github.com/b-wagn/hash-sig/).
+
+## Description
+
+This project provides a C API for working with post-quantum hash-based signature schemes. It implements bindings for the XMSS (eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme) using SHA-3 and Winternitz encoding.
+
+## Features
+
+### Data Structures
+
+- **PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey** - wrapper for secret key
+- **PQSignatureSchemePublicKey** - wrapper for public key  
+- **PQSignature** - wrapper for signature
+- **PQRange** - epoch range representation
+- **PQSigningError** - error codes
+
+### Core Functions
+
+#### Key Management
+
+```c
+// Generate key pair
+enum PQSigningError pq_key_gen(
+    uintptr_t activation_epoch,
+    uintptr_t num_active_epochs,
+    struct PQSignatureSchemePublicKey **pk_out,
+    struct PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey **sk_out
+);
+
+// Free memory
+void pq_secret_key_free(struct PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey *key);
+void pq_public_key_free(struct PQSignatureSchemePublicKey *key);
+```
+
+#### Signing and Verification
+
+```c
+// Sign message
+enum PQSigningError pq_sign(
+    const struct PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey *sk,
+    uint32_t epoch,
+    const uint8_t *message,
+    uintptr_t message_len,
+    struct PQSignature **signature_out
+);
+
+// Verify signature
+int pq_verify(
+    const struct PQSignatureSchemePublicKey *pk,
+    uint32_t epoch,
+    const uint8_t *message,
+    uintptr_t message_len,
+    const struct PQSignature *signature
+);
+
+// Free memory
+void pq_signature_free(struct PQSignature *signature);
+```
+
+#### State Management
+
+```c
+// Get key activation interval
+struct PQRange pq_get_activation_interval(const struct PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey *key);
+
+// Get prepared interval
+struct PQRange pq_get_prepared_interval(const struct PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey *key);
+
+// Advance preparation to next interval
+void pq_advance_preparation(struct PQSignatureSchemeSecretKey *key);
+
+// Get maximum scheme lifetime
+uint64_t pq_get_lifetime(void);
+```
+
+#### Serialization
+
+```c
+// Serialize/deserialize keys and signatures
+enum PQSigningError pq_secret_key_serialize(...);
+enum PQSigningError pq_secret_key_deserialize(...);
+enum PQSigningError pq_public_key_serialize(...);
+enum PQSigningError pq_public_key_deserialize(...);
+enum PQSigningError pq_signature_serialize(...);
+enum PQSigningError pq_signature_deserialize(...);
+```
+
+#### Error Handling
+
+```c
+// Get error description
+char *pq_error_description(enum PQSigningError error);
+
+// Free string
+void pq_string_free(char *s);
+```
+

+
+    uint64_t lifetime = pq_get_lifetime();

+
+    printf("Message signed successfully!\n");
+

+    int verify_result = pq_verify(pk, epoch, message, 32, signature);
+    if (verify_result == 1) {
+        printf("Signature is valid!\n");
+    } else if (verify_result == 0) {
+        printf("Signature is invalid!\n");
+    } else {
+        printf("Verification error (code: %d)\n", verify_result);

+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Synchronized Signature Scheme
+
+This implementation uses a **synchronized (stateful)** signature scheme where:
+
+- Keys have a fixed lifetime divided into **epochs**
+- Each epoch can be used for signing **only once**
+- Reusing an epoch **compromises the security** of the scheme
+- This model is ideal for consensus protocols where validators sign messages at regular intervals
+
+### Managing Prepared Interval
+
+The secret key at any given time can only sign for a limited interval of epochs (prepared interval). Use `pq_advance_preparation()` to move this window to the next interval when needed.
+
+### Message Length
+
+All messages must be **exactly 32 bytes**. To sign longer messages, first use a hash function (e.g., SHA-256 or SHA-3).
+
+### Memory Management
+
+- All objects created by the library (keys, signatures, strings) must be freed using the corresponding `*_free()` functions
+- Never free pointers manually via `free()` - use only the provided functions
+- After calling `*_free()`, the pointer becomes invalid and should not be used
+
+## Security
+
+- **Never use the same epoch twice** with the same key, even to sign the same message
+- Store secret keys securely
+- Use serialization to save keys between sessions
+- Regularly backup secret keys
+
+## Scheme Parameters
+
+Current implementation uses:
+- **Scheme**: Generalized XMSS (Winternitz encoding, w=4)
+- **Hash function**: SHA-3 (SHAKE)
+- **Lifetime**: 2^18 epochs (262,144 epochs)
+- **Message length**: 32 bytes
+
+## Project Statistics
+
+- **Tests**: 12/12 passed (100% coverage)
+- **API functions**: 20
+- **Lines of code**: 980 (Rust) + 156 (C example)
+- **Test execution time**: 0.94 sec (release), 79 sec (debug)
