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...
We propose SWIFFT, a collection of compression functions that are highly parallelizable and admit very efficient implementations on modern microprocessors. The main technique under...

In this paper, we introduce new compression function design principles supporting variable output lengths (multiples of size n). They are based on a function or block cipher with a...
A secure logging mechanism named haplog is proposed. In essence, haplog uses only one-way hash functions to achieve the security and functional requirements of logging. This makes...
Most of the attacks against (reduced) SHA-2 family in literature have used local collisions which are valid for linearized version of SHA-2 hash functions. Recently, at FSE ’08, ...
