We illustrate how coding theory was applied in the design of the cryptographic hash function LANE [8]. The generic structure of the LANE compression function could potentially be vulnerable to a class of meet-in-the-middle attacks. While difficult to avoid at first sight, restating the problem in the domain of error correcting codes naturally leads to a simple and elegant solution. This ensures...

Quantum information and quantum computation have achieved a huge success during the last years. In this paper, we investigate the capability of quantum Hash function, which can be constructed by subtly modifying quantum walks, a famous quantum computation model. It is found that quantum Hash function can act as a hash function for the privacy amplification process of quantum key distribution sy...

In this paper, we present improved preimage attacks on the reduced-round GOST hash function family, which serves as the new Russian hash standard, with the aid of techniques such as the rebound attack, the Meet-in-the-Middle preimage attack and the multicollisions. Firstly, the preimage attack on 5-round GOST-256 is proposed which is the first preimage attack for GOST-256 at the hash function l...

Several fast software hash functions have been proposed since the hash function MD4 was introduced by R. Rivest in 1990. At the moment, SHA-1, RIPEMD-160, and HAVAL are known as secure dedicated hash functions in MDx-family hash functions. In this paper, we propose a new hash function based on advantages of these three hash functions, which keeps the maximum security of them and is more efficie...

To maintain data integrity hash functions are generally used. Hash function is one type of cryptographic primitives, which provide an assurance for data integrity. NAS has designed SHA hash functions which are the set of cryptographic hash function. There are so many SHA function existing in which SHA-1 produces message digest that is of 160 bits long. Later in SHA-1 has been identified securit...

To understand the viability of using hash functions to verify integrity and source of information, one must first examine the properties and origin of the basic hash function. The standard hash function serves as a basis for the discussion of Cryptographic Hash Functions. There are several hash functions currently in use today, including MD5 and SHA1. By examining the history and security avail...
