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....
: In this paper, a hash function construction method based on cell neural network (CNN) with hyper-chaos characteristics is proposed. The chaos sequence is generated by iterating C...
We consider the family of 2n-to-n-bit compression functions that are solely based on at most three permutation executions and on XOR-operators, and analyze its collision and preima...
