An improved preimage attack on MD2

نویسنده

  • Søren S. Thomsen
چکیده

This paper describes an improved preimage attack on the cryptographic hash function MD2. The attack has complexity equivalent to about 2 evaluations of the MD2 compression function. This is to be compared with the previous best known preimage attack, which has complexity about 2.

Preimage and Collision Attacks on MD2

This paper contains several attacks on the hash function MD2 which has a hash code size of 128 bits. At Asiacrypt 2004 Muller presents the first known preimage attack on MD2. The time complexity of the attack is about 2 and the preimages consist always of 128 blocks. We present a preimage attack of complexity about 2 with the further advantage that the preimages are of variable lengths. Moreove...

The MD2 Hash Function Is Not One-Way

MD2 is an early hash function developed by Ron Rivest for RSA Security, that produces message digests of 128 bits. In this paper, we show that MD2 does not reach the ideal security level of 2. We describe preimage attacks against the underlying compression function, the best of which has complexity of 2. As a result, the full MD2 hash can be attacked in preimage with complexity of 2.

Improved (Pseudo) Preimage Attack and Second Preimage Attack on Round-Reduced Grostl Hash Function

The Grøstl hash function is one of the five finalists in the third round of SHA-3 competition hosted by NIST. In this paper, we propose some improved (pseudo) preimage attacks on the Grøstl hash function by using some techniques, such as subspace preimage attack and the guess-and-determine technique. We present the improved pseudo preimage attacks on 5-round Grøstl-256 hash function and 8-round...

Improved (Pseudo) Preimage Attack and Second Preimage Attack on Round-Reduced Grøstl

Abstract. Grøstl is one of the five finalists in the third round of SHA-3 competition hosted by NIST. In this paper, we use many techniques to improve the pseudo preimage attack on Grøstl hash function, such as subspace preimage attack and guess-and-determine technique. We present improved pseudo preimage attacks on 5-round Grøstl-256 and 8-round Grøstl-512 respectively. The complexity of the a...

Improved (Pseudo) Preimage Attacks on Reduced-Round GOST and Grøstl-256 and Studies on Several Truncation Patterns for AES-like Compression Functions

In this paper, we present improved preimage attacks on the reduced-round GOST hash function family, which serves as the new Russian hash standard, with the aid of techniques such as the rebound attack, the Meet-in-the-Middle preimage attack and the multicollisions. Firstly, the preimage attack on 5-round GOST-256 is proposed which is the first preimage attack for GOST-256 at the hash function l...
