Double Length Sponge Construction DLP-Sponge

Dlp Sponge Construction for Authenticatedencryption

In this paper, we present a new DLP-sponge construction to ensure integrity and privacy. This scheme solves problem related to small keys by introducing a double length construction: k ≈ 2r. Previous researcher show that the size of key k must be twice of the capacity c which will in turn affect the size of the underlying permutation: b = c + r. As c decreases, the bitrate r increases as well. ...

Post-quantum Security of the Sponge Construction

We investigate the post-quantum security of hash functions based on the sponge construction. A crucial property for hash functions in the post-quantum setting is the collapsing property (a strengthening of collision-resistance). We show that the sponge construction is collapsing (and in consequence quantum collision-resistant) under suitable assumptions about the underlying block function. In p...

On the Indifferentiability of the Sponge Construction

In this paper we prove that the sponge construction introduced in [4] is indifferentiable from a random oracle when being used with a random transformation or a random permutation and discuss its implications. To our knowledge, this is the first time indifferentiability has been shown for a construction calling a random permutation (instead of an ideal compression function or ideal block cipher...

Sufficient Conditions on Padding Schemes of Sponge Construction and Sponge-Based Authenticated-Encryption Scheme

Security of Sponge structures

Sponge structure is a structure widely used in the design of cryptographic algorithms that reduces the design of the algorithms to the design of a permutation or pseudo-random function. The development of sponge-based algorithms and the selection of designs based on this structure in SHA3 and CAESAR competitions increase the need to examine its security against various types of attacks. In the ...
