Lately, hash function security has received increased attention. Especially after the recent attacks that were presented for SHA-1 and MD5, the need for a new and more robust hash...
Abstract. This paper reconsiders the established Merkle-Damg˚ard design principle for iterated hash functions. The internal state size w of an iterated n-bit hash function is trea...
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 proposes a construction for collision resistant 2n-bit hash functions, based on n-bit block ciphers with 2n-bit keys. The construction is analysed in the ideal cipher mo...
Enhanced Target Collision Resistance (eTCR) property for a hash function was put forth by Halevi and Krawczyk in Crypto 2006, in conjunction with the randomized hashing mode that i...
