An Improved Hash Function Based on the Tillich-Zémor Hash Function

Using the idea behind the Tillich-Zémor hash function, we propose a new hash function. Our hash function is parallelizable and its collision resistance is implied by a hardness assumption on a mathematical problem. Also, it is secure against the known attacks. It is the most secure variant of the Tillich-Zémor hash function until now.

study of hash functions based on chaotic maps

توابع درهم نقش بسیار مهم در سیستم های رمزنگاری و پروتکل های امنیتی دارند. در سیستم های رمزنگاری برای دستیابی به احراز درستی و اصالت داده دو روش مورد استفاده قرار می گیرند که عبارتند از توابع رمزنگاری کلیددار و توابع درهم ساز. توابع درهم ساز، توابعی هستند که هر متن با طول دلخواه را به دنباله ای با طول ثابت تبدیل می کنند. از جمله پرکاربردترین و معروف ترین توابع درهم می توان توابع درهم ساز md4, md...

Hash Function Designs Based on Stream Ciphers

Hash functions are fundamental components of many cryptographic applications. Due to the recent attacks on classical designs, alternative design approaches are proposed. In this paper, we give a survey for hash function constructions based stream ciphers mainly concentrating on Panama, RadioGatún and RC4-hash. Also, we propose an example hash function Dragon-Hash based on the stream cipher Dragon.

Hash Function Based on Block Ciphers

Iterated hash functions based on block ciphers are treated. Five attacks on an iterated hash function and on its round function are formulated. The wisdom of strengthening such hash functions by constraining the last block of the message to be hashed is stressed. Schemes for constructing m-bit and 2m-bit hash round functions fromm-bit block ciphers are studied. A principle is formalized for eva...
