Fast Hashing and Stream Encryption with Panama
Fast Hashing and Stream Encryption with Panama Joan Daemen1 and Craig Clapp2 1 Banksys, Haachtesteenweg 1442, B-1130 Brussel, Belgium [email protected] 2 PictureTel Corporation, 100 Minuteman Rd., Andover, MA 01810, USA [email protected] Abstract. We present a cryptographic module that can be used both as a cryptographic hash function and as a stream cipher. High performance is achieved through a combination of low work-factor and a high degree of parallelism. Throughputs of 5.1 bits/cycle for the hashing mode and 4.7 bits/cycle for the stream cipher mode are demonstrated on a com- mercially available VLIW micro-processor. 1 Introduction Panama is a cryptographic module that can be used both as a cryptographic hash function and a stream cipher. It is designed to be very efficient in software implementations on 32-bit architectures. Its basic operations are on 32-bit words. The hashing state is updated by a parallel nonlinear transformation, the buffer operates as a linear feedback shift register, similar to that applied in the compression function of SHA [6]. Panama is largely based on the StepRightUp stream/hash module that was described in [4]. Panama has a low per-byte work factor while still claiming very high security. The price paid for this is a relatively high fixed computational overhead for every execution of the hash function. This makes the Panama hash function less suited for the hashing of messages shorter than the equivalent of a typewritten page. For the stream cipher it results in a relatively long initialization procedure. Hence, in applications where speed is critical, too frequent resynchronization should be avoided. -
Efficient Collision Attack Frameworks for RIPEMD-160
Efficient Collision Attack Frameworks for RIPEMD-160 Fukang Liu1;6, Christoph Dobraunig2;3, Florian Mendel4, Takanori Isobe5;6, Gaoli Wang1?, and Zhenfu Cao1? 1 Shanghai Key Laboratory of Trustworthy Computing, East China Normal University, Shanghai, China [email protected],fglwang,[email protected] 2 Graz University of Technology, Austria 3 Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands [email protected] 4 Infineon Technologies AG, Germany [email protected] 5 National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan 6 University of Hyogo, Japan [email protected] Abstract. RIPEMD-160 is an ISO/IEC standard and has been applied to gen- erate the Bitcoin address with SHA-256. Due to the complex dual-stream struc- ture, the first collision attack on reduced RIPEMD-160 presented by Liu, Mendel and Wang at Asiacrypt 2017 only reaches 30 steps, having a time complexity of 270. Apart from that, several semi-free-start collision attacks have been published for reduced RIPEMD-160 with the start-from-the-middle method. Inspired from such start-from-the middle structures, we propose two novel efficient collision at- tack frameworks for reduced RIPEMD-160 by making full use of the weakness of its message expansion. Those two frameworks are called dense-left-and-sparse- right (DLSR) framework and sparse-left-and-dense-right (SLDR) framework. As it turns out, the DLSR framework is more efficient than SLDR framework since one more step can be fully controlled, though with extra 232 memory complexi- ty. To construct the best differential characteristics for the DLSR framework, we carefully build the linearized part of the characteristics and then solve the cor- responding nonlinear part using a guess-and-determine approach. -

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. -
Constructing Secure Hash Functions by Enhancing Merkle-Damgård
Constructing Secure Hash Functions by Enhancing Merkle-Damg˚ard Construction Praveen Gauravaram1, William Millan1,EdDawson1, and Kapali Viswanathan2 1 Information Security Institute (ISI) Queensland University of Technology (QUT) 2 George Street, GPO Box 2434, Brisbane QLD 4001, Australia [email protected], {b.millan, e.dawson}@qut.edu.au 2 Technology Development Department, ABB Corporate Research Centre ABB Global Services Limited, 49, Race Course Road, Bangalore - 560 001, India [email protected] Abstract. Recently multi-block collision attacks (MBCA) were found on the Merkle-Damg˚ard (MD)-structure based hash functions MD5, SHA-0 and SHA-1. In this paper, we introduce a new cryptographic construction called 3C devised by enhancing the MD construction. We show that the 3C construction is at least as secure as the MD construc- tion against single-block and multi-block collision attacks. This is the first result of this kind showing a generic construction which is at least as resistant as MD against MBCA. To further improve the resistance of the design against MBCA, we propose the 3C+ design as an enhance- ment of 3C. Both these constructions are very simple adjustments to the MD construction and are immune to the straight forward extension attacks that apply to the MD hash function. We also show that 3C resists some known generic attacks that work on the MD construction. Finally, we compare the security and efficiency features of 3C with other MD based proposals. Keywords: Merkle-Damg˚ard construction, MBCA, 3C, 3C+. 1 Introduction In 1989, Damg˚ard [2] and Merkle [13] independently proposed a similar iter- ative structure to construct a collision resistant cryptographic hash function H : {0, 1}∗ →{0, 1}t using a fixed length input collision resistant compression function f : {0, 1}b ×{0, 1}t →{0, 1}t. -

Copies of chain blocks are usually stored on multiple computers and synchronized in accordance with the rules of building a chain of blocks, which provides secure and change-resistant storage of information. To build linked lists of blocks hashing is used. Hashing is a special cryptographic primitive that provides one-way, resistance to collisions and search for prototypes computation of hash value (hash or message digest). In this paper a comparative analysis of the performance of hashing algorithms that can be used in modern decentralized blockchain networks are conducted. Specifically, the hash performance on different desktop systems, the number of cycles per byte (Cycles/byte), the amount of hashed message per second (MB/s) and the hash rate (KHash/s) are investigated. -

On the Need for Multipermutations: Cryptanalysis of MD4 and SAFER
On the Need for Multipermutations: Cryptanalysis of MD4 and SAFER Serge Vaudenay* Ecole Normale Sup@rieure -- DMI 45, rue d'Ulm 75230 Paris Cedex 5 France Serge. Yaudenay@ens. fr Abstract. Cryptographic primitives are usually based on a network with boxes. At EUROCRYPT'94, Schnorr and the author of this pa- per claimed that all boxes should be multipermutations. Here, we inves- tigate a few combinatorial properties of multipermutations. We argue that boxes which fail to be multipermutations can open the way to un- suspected attacks. We illustrate this statement with two examples. Firstly, we show how to construct collisions to MD4 restricted to its first two rounds. This allows one to forge digests close to each other using the full compression function of MD4. Secondly, we show that variants of SAFER are subject to attack faster than exhaustive search in 6.1% cases. This attack can be implemented if we decrease the number of rounds from 6 to 4. In [18], multipermutatwns are introduced as formalization of perfect diffusion. The aim of this paper is to show that the concept of multipermutation is a basic tool in the design of dedicated cryptographic functions, as functions that do not realize perfect diffusion may be subject to some clever cryptanalysis in which the flow of information is controlled throughout the computation network. We give two cases of such an analysis. Firstly, we show how to build collisions for MD4 restricted to its first two rounds 2. MD4 is a three rounds hash function proposed by Rivest[17]. Den Boer and Bosselaers[2] have described an attack on MD4 restricted to its last two rounds. -

Cryptanalysis of the Hash Functions MD4 and RIPEMD Xiaoyun Wang1, Xuejia Lai2, Dengguo Feng3, Hui Chen1, and Xiuyuan Yu4 1 Shandong University, Jinan250100, China [email protected] 2 Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai200052, China 3 Chinese Academy of Science China, Beijing100080, China 4 Huangzhou Teacher College, Hangzhou310012, China Abstract. MD4 is a hash function developed by Rivest in 1990. It serves as the basis for most of the dedicated hash functions such as MD5, SHAx, RIPEMD, and HAVAL. In 1996, Dobbertin showed how to find collisions of MD4 with complexity equivalent to 220 MD4 hash computations. In this paper, we present a new attack on MD4 which can find a collision with probability 2−2 to 2−6, and the complexity of finding a collision doesn’t exceed 28 MD4 hash operations. Built upon the collision search attack, we present a chosen-message pre-image attack on MD4 with com- plexity below 28. Furthermore, we show that for a weak message, we can find another message that produces the same hash value. The complex- ity is only a single MD4 computation, and a random message is a weak message with probability 2−122. The attack on MD4 can be directly applied to RIPEMD which has two parallel copies of MD4, and the complexity of finding a collision is about 218 RIPEMD hash operations. 1 Introduction MD4 [14] is an early-appeared hash function that is designed using basic arith- metic and Boolean operations that are readily available on modern computers. Such type of hash functions are often referred to as dedicated hash functions, and they are quite different from hash functions based on block ciphers. -
