We provide a collision attack and preimage attacks on the MDC-2 construction, which is a method (dating back to 1988) of turning an n-bit block cipher into a 2n-bit hash function. ...

Abstract. HAVAL is a cryptographic hash function with variable digest size proposed by Zheng, Pieprzyk and Seberry in 1992. It has three variants, 3-, 4-, and 5-pass HAVAL. Previou...
ARMADILLO2 is the recommended variant of a multi-purpose cryptographic primitive dedicated to hardware which has been proposed by Badel et al. in [1]. In this paper we propose a me...
We revisit meet-in-the-middle attacks on block ciphers and recent developments in meet-in-the-middle preimage attacks on hash functions. Despite the presence of a secret key in the...

We show that the LASH-x hash function is vulnerable to attacks that trade time for memory, including collision attacks as fast as 2(4x/11) and preimage attacks as fast as 2(4x/7) ....
