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. -

Forgery and Key Recovery Attacks for Calico
Forgery and Key Recovery Attacks for Calico Christoph Dobraunig, Maria Eichlseder, Florian Mendel, Martin Schl¨affer Institute for Applied Information Processing and Communications Graz University of Technology Inffeldgasse 16a, A-8010 Graz, Austria April 1, 2014 1 Calico v8 Calico [3] is an authenticated encryption design submitted to the CAESAR competition by Christopher Taylor. In Calico v8 in reference mode, ChaCha-14 and SipHash-2-4 work together in an Encrypt-then-MAC scheme. For this purpose, the key is split into a Cipher Key KC and a MAC Key KM . The plaintext is encrypted with ChaCha under the Cipher Key to a ciphertext with the same length as the plaintext. Then, the tag is calculated as the SipHash MAC of the concatenated ciphertext and associated data. The key used for SipHash is generated by xoring the nonce to the (lower, least significant part of the) MAC Key: (C; T ) = EncCalico(KC k KM ; N; A; P ); where k is concatenation, and with ⊕ denoting xor, the ciphertext and tag are calculated vi C = EncChaCha-14(KC ; N; P ) T = MACSipHash-2-4(KM ⊕ N; C k A): Here, A; P; C denote associated data, plaintext and ciphertext, respectively, all of arbitrary length. T is the 64-bit tag, N the 64-bit nonce, and the 384-bit key K is split into a 256-bit encryption and 128-bit authentication part, K = KC k KM . 2 Missing Domain Separation As shown above, the tag is calculated over the concatenation C k A of ciphertext and asso- ciated data. Due to the missing domain separation between ciphertext and associated data in the generation of the tag, the following attack is feasible. -
Differential Cryptanalysis of Siphash
Differential Cryptanalysis of SipHash Christoph Dobraunig, Florian Mendel, and Martin Schl¨affer IAIK, Graz University of Technology, Austria [email protected] Abstract. SipHash is an ARX based message authentication code de- veloped by Aumasson and Bernstein. SipHash was designed to be fast on short messages. Already, a lot of implementations and applications for SipHash exist, whereas the cryptanalysis of SipHash lacks behind. In this paper, we provide the first published third-party cryptanalysis of SipHash regarding differential cryptanalysis. We use existing auto- matic tools to find differential characteristics for SipHash. To improve the quality of the results, we propose several extensions for these tools to find differential characteristics. For instance, to get a good probabil- ity estimation for differential characteristics in SipHash, we generalize the concepts presented by Mouha et al. and Velichkov et al. to calcu- late the probability of ARX functions. Our results are a characteristic for SipHash-2-4 with a probability of 2−236:3 and a distinguisher for the Finalization of SipHash-2-4 with practical complexity. Even though our results do not pose any threat to the security of SipHash-2-4, they sig- nificantly improve the results of the designers and give new insights in the security of SipHash-2-4. Keywords: message authentication code, MAC, cryptanalysis, differ- ential cryptanalysis, SipHash, S-functions, cyclic S-functions 1 Introduction A message authentication code (MAC) is a cryptographic primitive, which is used to ensure the integrity and the origin of messages. Normally, a MAC takes a secret key K and a message M as input and produces a fixed size tag T .A receiver of such a message-tag-pair verifies the authenticity of the message by simply recalculating the tag T for the message and compare it with the received one. -

Hash Pile Ups: Using Collisions to Identify Unknown Hash Functions
Hash Pile Ups: Using Collisions to Identify Unknown Hash Functions R. Joshua Tobin David Malone School of Mathematics Hamilton Institute Trinity College Dublin, National University of Ireland, Ireland. Ireland. Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Abstract—Hash functions are often used to consistently assign 16 Xor Jenkins objects to particular resources, for example to load balancing Pearson in networks. These functions can be randomly selected from a 14 Universal MD5 family, to prevent attackers generating many colliding objects, SHA which usually results in poor performance. We describe a number 12 SHA256 of attacks allowing us to identify which hash function from a family is being used by observing a relatively small number of 10 collisions. This knowledge can then be used to generate a large number of colliding inputs. In particular we detail attacks against (us) 8 CPU Time small families of hashes, Pearson-like hash functions and linear 6 hashes, such as the Toeplitz hash used in Microsoft’s Receive Side Scaling. 4 I. INTRODUCTION 2 Hash functions are often used to spread load across several 0 resources. For example, in the common case of a hash table, a Geode Core 2 Duo Athlon 64 Xeon Atom 500MHz 2.66GHz 2.6GHz 3GHz 1.6GHz hash function is used to give a consistent assignment of objects to linked lists. In modern networking, similar techniques are used by high-end network cards to assign packets to CPUs [1], Fig. 1.

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. -
