In this paper, an improved differential cryptanalysis framework for finding collisions in hash functions is provided. Its principle is based on linearization of compression functi...

Cryptographic hash functions are often built on block ciphers in order to reduce the security of the hash to that of the cipher, and to minimize the hardware size. Proven secure co...
MD4 is a hash function introduced by Rivest in 1990. It is still used in some contexts, and the most commonly used hash function (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2) are based on the design princip...
—Structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are highly scalable, self-organizing, and support efficient lookups. Furthermore, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), due to their features, a...
Abstract. This paper examines proposals for three cryptographic primitives: block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions. It provides an overview of the design principles of a...
