Abstract. Dedicated hash functions are cryptographically secure compression functions which are designed specifically for hashing. They intend to form a practical alternative for ...
In this paper we combine the error correction and encryption functionality into one block cipher, which we call High Diffusion (HD) cipher. The error correcting property of this ci...

Abstract. ESSENCE is a family of cryptographic hash functions, accepted to the first round of NIST's SHA-3 competition. This paper presents the first known attacks on ESSENCE....
Collision resistant hash functions are an important basic tool for cryptographic applications such as digital signature schemes and integrity protection based on "fingerprinti...
This paper reviews constructions of hash functions and MAC algorithms based on block ciphers. It discusses the main requirements for these cryptographic primitives, motivates these...
