Cryptanalysis of Grindahl
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to recent breakthroughs in hash functions cryptanalysis, some new hash schemes have been proposed. GRINDAHL is a novel hash function, designed by Knudsen, Rechberger and Thomsen and published at FSE 2007. It has the particularity that it follows the RIJNDAEL design strategy, with an efficiency comparable to SHA-256. This paper provides the first cryptanalytic work on this new scheme. We show that the 256-bit version of GRINDAHL is not collision resistant. With a work effort of approximatively 2 hash computations, one can generate a collision.

Cryptanalysis of Hash Functions with Structures
Hash function cryptanalysis has acquired many methods, tools and tricks from other areas, mostly block ciphers. In this paper another trick from block cipher cryptanalysis, the structures, is used for speeding up the collision search. We investigate the memory and the time complexities of this approach under different assumptions on the round functions. The power of the new attack is illustrate...
متن کاملSlide Attacks on a Class of Hash Functions
This paper studies the application of slide attacks to hash functions. Slide attacks have mostly been used for block cipher cryptanalysis. But, as shown in the current paper, they also form a potential threat for hash functions, namely for sponge-function like structures. As it turns out, certain constructions for hash-function-based MACs can be vulnerable to forgery and even to key recovery at...
متن کاملCryptanalysis and design of symmetric primitives
This thesis focuses on the cryptanalysis and the design of block ciphers and hash functions. The thesis starts with an overview of methods for cryptanalysis of block ciphers which are based on differential cryptanalysis. We explain these concepts and also several combinations of these attacks. We propose new attacks on reduced versions of ARIA and AES. Furthermore, we analyze the strength of th...
متن کاملGrindahl – a family of hash functions
In this paper we propose the Grindahl family of hash functions, which is based on components of the Rijndael algorithm. To make collision search sufficiently difficult, this design has the important feature that no low-weight characteristics form collisions, and at the same time it limits access to the state. We also propose two instances of the Grindahl hash family, Grindahl-256 and Grindahl-5...
متن کاملThe Grindahl Hash Functions
In this paper we propose the Grindahl hash functions, which are based on components of the Rijndael algorithm. To make collision search sufficiently difficult, this design has the important feature that no low-weight characteristics form collisions, and at the same time it limits access to the state. We propose two concrete hash functions, Grindahl-256 and Grindahl512 with claimed security leve...
