The following modifications have been made since version 1.0: • The permutations p(i) have been optimized to provide a better security. • The rotations r(i) and s(i) have been optimized to provide a better security. • We introduce a new family of strengthened versions SIMD+ with more rounds than SIMD. These versions can be used if strong security margins are needed. • We introduce a new family of reduced versions SISD which can be used in constrained environment when only a short tag is needed. These versions can also be useful to develop cryptanalysis techniques. • The IV and the test vectors have been updated. The tweak has essentially no effect on the performances of SIMD. This tweak is motivated by the discovery of a differential distinguisher on the compression function of SIMD-512 1.0 by Nad and Mendel [21]. This distinguishing attack has complexity 2427 and is a based on a differential trail where no difference is introduced in the message, but a −507 specific difference ∆in in the chaining value can go to a difference ∆out with probability 2 . The attack is possible because the diffusion in the compression function is relatively slow and the permutations and rotations of SIMD 1.0 have some bad properties that allow good differential paths. The tweak prevents the attack in its current form by removing unwanted properties of the permutations and rotations, but it is possible that future improvements give a distinguisher based on similar ideas. However, we decided to not increase the number of rounds of SIMD because we believe that such distinguishers do not threaten the security of SIMD. The compression function of SIMD was designed with the idea that the message input and the chaining value input of the compression function have a different role. An attacker can easily control the message input, but the chaining value can only be chosen by hashing a previous block. That is why we use a strong message expansion step, and the chaining value undergoes less transformations. Moreover, since SIMD is using a wide-pipe design, attacks on the compression function which require control of the chaining value are very unlikely to be transferable to the full hash function. For instance a free-start preimage attack on the compression compression can not be used to break the hash function, even if it is only has unit cost. Therefore, we believe that it not worth increase the number of rounds to avoid potential free- start distinguishers, but we provide a strengthened version SIMD+ for those who feel otherwise. 4 5 Introduction The SIMD hash function is quite similar to members of the MD/SHA family. It is based on a familiar Merkle-Damg˚arddesign, where the compression function is built from a Feistel-like cipher in Davies-Meyer mode. However there are some innovations in this design: the internal state is twice as big as the output size, we use a strong message expansion, and we use a modified feed-forward in the compression function. The main design criteria was to follow the MD/SHA designs principle which are quite well understood, and to add some elements to avoid all known attacks. SIMD is particularly efficient on platforms with vector instructions (SIMD) which are available on many processors. Such instructions have been proposed since 1997 and are now widely deployed. Moreover, it is also possible to use two cores on multicore processors to boost the performance with a factor 1.8 by splitting the message expansion function and the hashing process. 6 Contents 1 Algorithm Specification and Rationale 9 1.1 Mathematical Preliminaries and Notations . .9 1.1.1 The Field F257 .................................9 1.1.2 The Number-Theoretic Transform . .9 1.1.3 The Rings Z216 and Z232 ............................ 10 1.1.4 Superscripts and Subscripts . 10 1.2 Description of the Algorithm . 10 1.2.1 Mode of Operation . 11 1.2.2 The Message Expansion . 12 1.2.3 The Feistel Ladder . 15 1.2.4 The Final Compression Function . 19 1.2.5 Initialization Vector . 21 1.2.6 Input and Output . 21 1.3 Rationale . 24 1.3.1 Iteration Mode . 24 1.3.2 Davies-Meyer . 24 1.3.3 The Message Expansion . 26 2 Implementation Aspect and Performances 27 2.1 Software Implementation . 27 2.1.1 SIMD Instructions . 27 2.1.2 Optimized Implementation . 28 2.1.3 Multi-core . 29 2.1.4 Performance . 29 2.2 8-bit Implementation . 30 2.3 Hardware Implementation . 30 3 Expected Strength 31 3.1 Security of the compression function . 31 4 Security Analysis 33 4.1 Mode of Operation . 33 4.1.1 Mode of Operation for the Hash Function . 33 4.1.2 Security Results for Some Hash Based Constructions . 33 4.1.3 Mode of Operation for the Compression Function . 34 4.2 Security of the Compression Function . 34 4.2.1 Resistance to Differential Cryptanalysis . 34 4.2.2 The Step Update Function . 34 7 8 CONTENTS 4.3 Reduced Versions . 35 4.3.1 SISD-n ...................................... 35 4.3.2 SIMD-n/2:k ................................... 36 4.3.3 SIMD-n/k .................................... 36 4.4 Strengthened Versions . 37 5 Advantages and Limitations 39 5.1 Parallelism . 39 5.2 Security . 39 5.3 Performance . 39 A Test Vectors 43 A.1 SIMD-224 ........................................ 44 A.1.1 Empty Message . 44 A.1.2 One-block Message . 51 A.1.3 Two-block Message . 64 A.2 SIMD-256 ........................................ 85 A.2.1 Empty Message . 85 A.2.2 One-block Message . 92 A.2.3 Two-block Message . 106 A.3 SIMD-384 ........................................ 127 A.3.1 Empty Message . 127 A.3.2 One-block Message . 139 A.3.3 Two-block Message . 163 A.4 SIMD-512 ........................................ 198 A.4.1 Empty Message . 198 A.4.2 One-block Message . 210 A.4.3 Two-block Message . 234 Chapter 1 Algorithm Specification and Rationale This document defines the SIMD family of hash functions. This family is based on two functions SIMD-256 and SIMD-512; we define SIMD-n with n ≤ 256 as a truncation of SIMD-256, and SIMD-n with 256 < n ≤ 512 as a truncation of SIMD-512. Each function SIMD-n takes as input a message of arbitrary size, and outputs a digest of n bits. 1.1 Mathematical Preliminaries and Notations The design of SIMD uses a number of different operations with useful mathematical properties. In this section, we introduce the operations that will be used through this document, and detail their properties. 1.1.1 The Field F257 Since 257 is a prime, the ring Z257 of the integers modulo 257 is a field F257. The operations in this field are denoted with (mod 257). We chose this field because we can easily map a byte to an element of the field, and the operations in F257 can be computed efficiently in software and in hardware. 1.1.2 The Number-Theoretic Transform The Number-theoretic transform of size n in F257 is defined as: n n NTTn : F257 ! F257 n−1 n−1 n−1 X ij (xj)j=0 7! (yi)i=0 : yi = xj! (mod 257): j=0 where n ≤ 256, and ! is a n-th root of unity in F257. We can see it as a polynomial evaluation: n−1 Pn−1 j if the sequence (xj)j=0 is interpreted as a polynomial P (X) = j=0 xjX , then we have yi = P (!i). 9 10 CHAPTER 1. ALGORITHM SPECIFICATION AND RATIONALE This transform is identical to the Discrete Fourier Transform but it operates on a finite field n instead of the field of complex numbers. It is a bijection of F257. It can be computed efficiently by the same algorithm as the Fast Fourier Transform, which has a complexity of O(n log n) field operations. 1.1.3 The Rings Z216 and Z232 16 32 Z216 denotes the ring of integers modulo 2 , and Z232 denotes the ring of the integers modulo 2 . We use and to represent the modular addition and multiplication in these rings. (Actually, we only use in Z232 and in Z216 ). We can represent elements of Z216 by 16-bit words, and elements of Z232 by 32-bit words. Thus, we define the following bitwise boolean functions on 32-bit words: IF(A; B; C) = (A ^ B) _ (:A ^ C) MAJ(A; B; C) = (A ^ B) _ (A ^ C) _ (B ^ C) where _ denotes the boolean OR, ^ denotes AND, and : denotes NOT. We also use ⊕ for the exclusive or (XOR). IF acts as a conditional, and MAJ is the majority function. These function are already used in some hash functions because they have good properties: the output is unbiased, and no input bit has a linear effect on the output.

  • GPU-Based Password Cracking on the Security of Password Hashing Schemes Regarding Advances in Graphics Processing Units
    Radboud University Nijmegen Faculty of Science Kerckhoffs Institute Master of Science Thesis GPU-based Password Cracking On the Security of Password Hashing Schemes regarding Advances in Graphics Processing Units by Martijn Sprengers [email protected] Supervisors: Dr. L. Batina (Radboud University Nijmegen) Ir. S. Hegt (KPMG IT Advisory) Ir. P. Ceelen (KPMG IT Advisory) Thesis number: 646 Final Version Abstract Since users rely on passwords to authenticate themselves to computer systems, ad- versaries attempt to recover those passwords. To prevent such a recovery, various password hashing schemes can be used to store passwords securely. However, recent advances in the graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware challenge the way we have to look at secure password storage. GPU's have proven to be suitable for crypto- graphic operations and provide a significant speedup in performance compared to traditional central processing units (CPU's). This research focuses on the security requirements and properties of prevalent pass- word hashing schemes. Moreover, we present a proof of concept that launches an exhaustive search attack on the MD5-crypt password hashing scheme using modern GPU's. We show that it is possible to achieve a performance of 880 000 hashes per second, using different optimization techniques. Therefore our implementation, executed on a typical GPU, is more than 30 times faster than equally priced CPU hardware. With this performance increase, `complex' passwords with a length of 8 characters are now becoming feasible to crack. In addition, we show that between 50% and 80% of the passwords in a leaked database could be recovered within 2 months of computation time on one Nvidia GeForce 295 GTX.

  • 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.

  • Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction
    Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction Set Joppe W. Bos1, Onur Özen1, and Martijn Stam2 1 Laboratory for Cryptologic Algorithms, EPFL, Station 14, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland {joppe.bos,onur.ozen}@epfl.ch 2 Department of Computer Science, University of Bristol, Merchant Venturers Building, Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1UB, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract. In this work, we provide a software benchmark for a large range of 256-bit blockcipher-based hash functions. We instantiate the underlying blockci- pher with AES, which allows us to exploit the recent AES instruction set (AES- NI). Since AES itself only outputs 128 bits, we consider double-block-length constructions, as well as (single-block-length) constructions based on RIJNDAEL- 256. Although we primarily target architectures supporting AES-NI, our frame- work has much broader applications by estimating the performance of these hash functions on any (micro-)architecture given AES-benchmark results. As far as we are aware, this is the first comprehensive performance comparison of multi- block-length hash functions in software. 1 Introduction Historically, the most popular way of constructing a hash function is to iterate a com- pression function that itself is based on a blockcipher (this idea dates back to Ra- bin [49]). This approach has the practical advantage—especially on resource-constrained devices—that only a single primitive is needed to implement two functionalities (namely encrypting and hashing). Moreover, trust in the blockcipher can be conferred to the cor- responding hash function. The wisdom of blockcipher-based hashing is still valid today. Indeed, the current cryptographic hash function standard SHA-2 and some of the SHA- 3 candidates are, or can be regarded as, blockcipher-based designs.

Gallagher, Deputy Director NISTIR 7620: Status Report on the First Round of the SHA-3 Cryptographic Hash Algorithm Competition Abstract The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of selecting a new cryptographic hash algorithm through a public competition. The new hash algorithm will be referred to as “SHA-3” and will complement the SHA-2 hash algorithms currently specified in FIPS 180-3, Secure Hash Standard. In October, 2008, 64 candidate algorithms were submitted to NIST for consideration. Among these, 51 met the minimum acceptance criteria and were accepted as First-Round Candidates on Dec. 10, 2008, marking the beginning of the First Round of the SHA-3 cryptographic hash algorithm competition. This report describes the evaluation criteria and selection process, based on public feedback and internal review of the first-round candidates, and summarizes the 14 candidate algorithms announced on July 24, 2009 for moving forward to the second round of the competition. The 14 Second-Round Candidates are BLAKE, BLUE MIDNIGHT WISH, CubeHash, ECHO, Fugue, Grøstl, Hamsi, JH, Keccak, Luffa, Shabal, SHAvite-3, SIMD, and Skein.

In this paper we describe our high-speed hardware imple- mentations of the 14 candidates of the second evaluation round of the SHA-3 hash function competition. We synthesized all implementations using a uniform tool chain, standard-cell library, target technology, and optimization heuristic. This work provides the fairest comparison of all second-round candidates to date.

Furthermore, we include the performance results of a simple SHA-256 implementation as a point of reference. As of now, the implementations of 13 of the candidates include eventual round-two tweaks. Our implementation of SIMD realizes the specification from round one. 2 Introduction Following the weakening of the widely-used SHA-1 hash algorithm and concerns over the similarly-structured algorithms of the SHA-2 family, the US NIST has initiated the SHA-3 contest in order to select a suitable drop-in replacement [27].

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.

  • Comb to Pipeline: Fast Software Encryption Revisited†
    Comb to Pipeline: Fast Software Encryption Revisitedy Andrey Bogdanov, Martin M. Lauridsen, and Elmar Tischhauser DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark anbog,mmeh,ewti @dtu.dk f g Abstract. AES-NI, or Advanced Encryption Standard New Instruc- tions, is an extension of the x86 architecture proposed by Intel in 2008. With a pipelined implementation utilizing AES-NI, parallelizable modes such as AES-CTR become extremely efficient. However, out of the four non-trivial NIST-recommended encryption modes, three are inherently sequential: CBC, CFB, and OFB. This inhibits the advantage of using AES-NI significantly. Similar observations apply to CMAC, CCM and a great deal of other modes. We address this issue by proposing the comb scheduler { a fast scheduling algorithm based on an efficient look-ahead strategy, featuring a low overhead { with which sequential modes profit from the AES-NI pipeline in real-world settings by filling it with multiple, independent messages. As our main target platform we apply the comb scheduler to implemen- tations on Haswell, a recent Intel microarchitecture, for a wide range of modes. We observe a drastic speed-up of factor 5 for NIST's CBC, CFB, OFB and CMAC performing around 0:88 cpb. Surprisingly, con- trary to the entire body of previous performance analysis, the through- put of the authenticated encryption (AE) mode CCM gets very close to that of GCM and OCB3, with about 1:64 cpb (vs. 1:63 cpb and 1:51 cpb, resp.), when message lengths are sampled according to a realistic distribution for Internet packets, despite Haswell's heavily improved bi- nary field multiplication.
