On the cryptanalysis of the hash function Fugue: Partitioning and inside-out distinguishers

Fugue is an intriguing hash function design with a novel shift-register based compression structure and has formal security proofs e.g. against collision attacks. In this paper, we present an analysis of Fugue’s structural properties, and describe our strategies to construct distinguishers for Fugue components.
