FPGA chips in reconfigurable computer systems are used as malleable coprocessors where components of a hardware library of functions can be configured as needed. As the number of ...
A series of recent papers have demonstrated collision attacks on popularly used hash functions, including the widely deployed MD5 and SHA-1 algorithm. To assess this threat, the na...
Abstract. In this report a new backward strictness analysis for functional languages is presented. It is called higher order demand propagation and is applicable to a realistic non...
This paper considers hash functions based on block ciphers. It presents a new attack on the compression function of the 128-bit hash function MDC-4 using DES with a complexity far ...
The collision-resistance of hash functions is an important foundation of many cryptographic protocols. Formally, collision-resistance can only be expected if the hash function in f...
