The subject of this thesis is the study of cryptographic hash functions. The importance of
hash functions for protecting the authenticity of information is demonstrated. Applications …

Secret-key block ciphers are the subject of this work. The design and security of block
ciphers, together with their application in hashing techniques, are considered. In particular …

Hash functions were introduced in cryptology in the late seventies as a tool to protect the
authenticity of information. Soon it became clear that they were a very useful building block …

Iterated hash functions based on block ciphers are treated. Five attacks on an iterated hash
function and on its round function are formulated. The wisdom of strengthening such hash …

The security challenges posed by RFID-tag deployments are well-known. In response there
is a rich literature on new cryptographic protocols and an on-tag hash function is often …

This book is about the cryptographic hash function BLAKE, one of the five final contenders in
the SHA3 competition, out of 64 initial submissions. The SHA3 competition was a public …

Cryptographic hash functions are a useful building block for several cryptographic
applications. The most important are certainly the protection of information authentication …

In this paper, we designed, implemented, and analyzed the performance, in terms of security
and speed, of two proposed keyed Chaotic Neural Network (CNN) hash functions based on …

Understanding what construction strategy has a chance to be a good hash function is
extremely important nowadays. In TCC'04, Maurer et al.[13] introduced the notion of …
