Secure Hash Algorithm-3 Cryptographic Hash Functions Secure Hash Algorithm-3 Cryptographic Hash Functions SHA-3 is a cryptographic hash function (designed by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaël Peeters and Gilles Van Assche) A cryptographic hash function takes an arbitrary block of data (message) and returns a fixed-size bit string (hash value) H : {0, 1}* --> {0,1}n Hash functions provides integrity and has applications in digital signatures, message authentication codes,etc. Need for SHA-3 Widespread Hash functions before 2004: MD4, MD5, RIPE-MD, RIPE-MD160, SHA0, SHA1, SHA2 • 1991-1993: Den Boer and Bosselaers attack MD4 and MD5 • 1996: Dobbertin improves attacks on MD4 and MD5 • 1998: Chabaud and Joux attack SHA-0 • 2004: Joux et al. break SHA-0 • 2004: Wang et al. break MD5 • 2005: Lenstra et al., and Klima, make MD5 attack practical • 2005: Wang et al. theoretically break SHA-1 • 2006: De Cannière and Rechberger further break SHA-1 Cypto 2004 In the conference, Joux shows a surprising property in Merkle-Damgaard hashes ►Multicollisions ►Cascaded hashes don’t help security much Wang, Feng, Lai, and Yu found a collison attack on SHA-0 with complexity of 2^40.

The bits of the round constants are different from round to round and are taken as the output of a maximum-length LFSR. The constants are only added in a single lane of the state.

  • MD5 Collisions the Effect on Computer Forensics April 2006
    Paper MD5 Collisions The Effect on Computer Forensics April 2006 ACCESS DATA , ON YOUR RADAR MD5 Collisions: The Impact on Computer Forensics Hash functions are one of the basic building blocks of modern cryptography. They are used for everything from password verification to digital signatures. A hash function has three fundamental properties: • It must be able to easily convert digital information (i.e. a message) into a fixed length hash value. • It must be computationally impossible to derive any information about the input message from just the hash. • It must be computationally impossible to find two files to have the same hash. A collision is when you find two files to have the same hash. The research published by Wang, Feng, Lai and Yu demonstrated that MD5 fails this third requirement since they were able to generate two different messages that have the same hash. In computer forensics hash functions are important because they provide a means of identifying and classifying electronic evidence. Because hash functions play a critical role in evidence authentication, a judge and jury must be able trust the hash values to uniquely identify electronic evidence. A hash function is unreliable when you can find any two messages that have the same hash. Birthday Paradox The easiest method explaining a hash collision is through what is frequently referred to as the Birthday Paradox. How many people one the street would you have to ask before there is greater than 50% probability that one of those people will share your birthday (same day not the same year)?

Mehrotra 2 1Tom Patrick Institute of Computer & I.T, Dr. Rafiq Zakaria Campus, Rauza Bagh, Aurangabad. (Maharashtra) INDIA [email protected] 2Department of C.S. & I.T., Dr. B.A.M. University, Aurangabad. (Maharashtra) INDIA [email protected] ABSTRACT Importance of Elliptic Curves in Cryptography was independently proposed by Neal Koblitz and Victor Miller in 1985.Since then, Elliptic curve cryptography or ECC has evolved as a vast field for public key cryptography (PKC) systems. In PKC system, we use separate keys to encode and decode the data. Since one of the keys is distributed publicly in PKC systems, the strength of security depends on large key size. The mathematical problems of prime factorization and discrete logarithm are previously used in PKC systems. ECC has proved to provide same level of security with relatively small key sizes. The research in the field of ECC is mostly focused on its implementation on application specific systems. Such systems have restricted resources like storage, processing speed and domain specific CPU architecture.

INTRODUCTION The changing global scenario shows an elegant merging of computing and communication in such a way that computers with wired communication are being rapidly replaced to smaller handheld embedded computers using wireless communication in almost every field. This has increased data privacy and security requirements.

Dent Information Security Group, University Of London, Royal Holloway, UK abstract After making the decision to use public-key cryptography, an organisation still has to make many important decisions before a practical system can be implemented. One of the more difficult challenges is to decide the length of the keys which are to be used within the system: longer keys provide more security but mean that the cryptographic operation will take more time to complete. The most common solution is to take advice from information security standards. This article will investigate the methodology that is used produce these standards and their meaning for an organisation who wishes to implement public-key cryptography. ª 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

  • BLAKE2: Simpler, Smaller, Fast As MD5
    BLAKE2: simpler, smaller, fast as MD5 Jean-Philippe Aumasson1, Samuel Neves2, Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn3, and Christian Winnerlein4 1 Kudelski Security, Switzerland [email protected] 2 University of Coimbra, Portugal [email protected] 3 Least Authority Enterprises, USA [email protected] 4 Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany [email protected] Abstract. We present the hash function BLAKE2, an improved version of the SHA-3 finalist BLAKE optimized for speed in software. Target applications include cloud storage, intrusion detection, or version control systems. BLAKE2 comes in two main flavors: BLAKE2b is optimized for 64-bit platforms, and BLAKE2s for smaller architectures. On 64- bit platforms, BLAKE2 is often faster than MD5, yet provides security similar to that of SHA-3: up to 256-bit collision resistance, immunity to length extension, indifferentiability from a random oracle, etc. We specify parallel versions BLAKE2bp and BLAKE2sp that are up to 4 and 8 times faster, by taking advantage of SIMD and/or multiple cores. BLAKE2 reduces the RAM requirements of BLAKE down to 168 bytes, making it smaller than any of the five SHA-3 finalists, and 32% smaller than BLAKE. Finally, BLAKE2 provides a comprehensive support for tree-hashing as well as keyed hashing (be it in sequential or tree mode). 1 Introduction The SHA-3 Competition succeeded in selecting a hash function that comple- ments SHA-2 and is much faster than SHA-2 in hardware [1]. There is nev- ertheless a demand for fast software hashing for applications such as integrity checking and deduplication in filesystems and cloud storage, host-based intrusion detection, version control systems, or secure boot schemes.

  • Fast Collision Attack on MD5
    Fast Collision Attack on MD5 Marc Stevens Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Eindhoven University of Technology P.O. Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands. [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we present an improved attack algorithm to find two-block colli- sions of the hash function MD5. The attack uses the same differential path of MD5 and the set of sufficient conditions that was presented by Wang et al. We present a new technique which allows us to deterministically fulfill restrictions to properly rotate the differentials in the first round. We will present a new algorithm to find the first block and we will use an al- gorithm of Klima to find the second block. To optimize the inner loop of these algorithms we will optimize the set of sufficient conditions. We also show that the initial value used for the attack has a large influence on the attack complexity. Therefore a recommendation is made for 2 conditions on the initial value of the attack to avoid very hard situations if one has some freedom in choosing this initial value. Our attack can be done in an average of about 1 minute (avg. complexity 232.3) on a 3Ghz Pentium4 for these random recommended initial values. For arbitrary random initial values the average is about 5 minutes (avg. complexity 234.1). With a reasonable probability a collision is found within mere seconds, allowing for instance an attack during the execution of a protocol. Keywords: MD5, collision, differential cryptanalysis 1 Introduction Hash functions are among the primitive functions used in cryptography, because of their one- way and collision free properties.

  • SHA-3 Conference, March 2012, Efficient Hardware Implementations
    Efficient Hardware Implementations and Hardware Performance Evaluation of SHA-3 Finalists Kashif Latif, M Muzaffar Rao, Arshad Aziz and Athar Mahboob National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), H-12 Islamabad, Pakistan [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Cryptographic hash functions are at the heart of many information security applications like digital signatures, message authentication codes (MACs), and other forms of authentication. In consequence of recent innovations in cryptanalysis of commonly used hash algorithms, NIST USA announced a publicly open competition for selection of new standard Secure Hash Algorithm called SHA-3. An essential part of this contest is hardware performance evaluation of the candidates. In this work we present efficient hardware implementations and hardware performance evaluations of SHA-3 finalists. We implemented and investigated the performance of SHA-3 finalists on latest Xilinx FPGAs. We show our results in the form of chip area consumption, throughput and throughput per area on most recently released devices from Xilinx on which implementations have not been reported yet. We have achieved substantial improvements in implementation results from all of the previously reported work. This work serves as performance investigation of SHA-3 finalists on most up-to-date FPGAs. Keywords: SHA-3, Performance Evaluation, Cryptographic Hash Functions, High Speed Encryption Hardware, FPGA. 1 Introduction A cryptographic hash function is a deterministic procedure whose input is an arbitrary block of data and output is a fixed-size bit string, which is known as the (Cryptographic) hash value. Cryptographic hash functions are widely used in many information security applications like digital signatures, message authentication codes (MACs), and other forms of authentication.

  • Security Analysis of SHA-256 and Sisters
    Security Analysis of SHA-256 and Sisters Henri Gilbert1 and Helena Handschuh2 1 France T´el´ecom R&D, FTRD/DTL/SSR 38-40 Rue du G´en´eral Leclerc, F-92131 Issy-Les Moulineaux [email protected] 2 GEMPLUS, Security Technologies Department 34 Rue Guynemer, F-92447 Issy-les-Moulineaux [email protected] Abstract. This paper studies the security of SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 against collision attacks and provides some insight into the security properties of the basic building blocks of the structure. It is concluded that neither Chabaud and Joux’s attack, nor Dobbertin-style attacks apply. Differential and linear attacks also don’t apply on the underlying structure. However we show that slightly simplified versions of the hash functions are surprisingly weak : whenever symmetric con- stants and initialization values are used throughout the computations, and modular additions are replaced by exclusive or operations, sym- metric messages hash to symmetric digests. Therefore the complexity of collision search on these modified hash functions potentially becomes as low as one wishes. 1 Introduction A cryptographic hash function can be informally defined as an easy to compute but hard to invert function which maps a message of arbitrary length into a fixed length (m-bit) hash value, and satisfies the property that finding a collision, i.e. two messages with the same hash value, is computationally infeasible. Most collision resistant hash function candidates proposed so far are based upon the iterated use of a so-called compression function, which maps a fixed-length (m+ n-bit) input value into a shorter fixed-length m-bit output value.
