Recent collision-finding attacks against hash functions such as MD5 and SHA-1 motivate the use of provably collision-resistant (CR) functions in their place. Finding a collision ...
Abstract. HAVAL is a cryptographic hash function with variable digest size proposed by Zheng, Pieprzyk and Seberry in 1992. It has three variants, 3-, 4-, and 5-pass HAVAL. Previou...
MD4 is a hash function introduced by Rivest in 1990. It is still used in some contexts, and the most commonly used hash function (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2) are based on the design princip...
In this article we find collisions for step-reduced SHA-256. We develop a differential that holds with high probability if the message satisfies certain conditions. We solve the eq...
In this paper, we point out some weaknesses in the Salsa20 core function that could be exploited to obtain up to 231 collisions for its full (20 rounds) version. We first find an i...
