Abstract. ESSENCE is a family of cryptographic hash functions, accepted to the first round of NIST's SHA-3 competition. This paper presents the first known attacks on ESSENCE....
Abstract. The cipher family SPEED (and an associated hashing mode) was recently proposed in Financial Cryptography '97. This paper cryptanalyzes that proposal, in two parts: F...

In this paper we present an improvement of the differential attack on hash functions based on block ciphers. By using the specific properties of the collision attack on hash functi...
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...

The security of hash functions has recently become one of the hottest topics in the design and analysis of cryptographic primitives. Since almost all the hash functions used today ...
