@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ LitCons uses a configuration of WOTS for message authentication, based on the
Keccak256 function. To be able to sign messages, an user must first generate
a random 256-bit word as its seed. From this seed, the user can generate
private keys by concatenating `keccak(seed | n | i)` for each natural number `i`
up to `32`, where `n` is the number of the private key. That is:
