ESSENCE is a hash function submitted to the NIST Hash Competition that stands out as a hardware-friendly and highly parallelizable design. Previous analysis showed some non-randomn...
Abstract. In this paper we report on a novel approach for uniform encoding of hash functions (but also other cryptographic functions) into propositional logic formulae, and reducin...
Low power techniques in a FPGA implementation of the hash function called Luffa are presented in this paper. This hash function is under consideration for adoption as standard. Tw...

This paper gives a survey of attacks on Message Authentication Codes (MACs). First it defines the required security properties. Next it describes generic forgery and key recovery...
In this paper, we present a pseudo-collision attack on the compression function of all Twister variants (224,256,384,512) with complexity of about 226.5 compression function evalua...
