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 large …

Hash functions are common and important cryptographic primitives, which are very critical
for data integrity assurance and data origin authentication security services. Field …

Hash functions are among the most widespread cryptographic primitives, and are currently
used in multiple cryptographic schemes and security protocols, such as IPSec and SSL. In …

PBKDF2 [1] is a well-known password-based key derivation function. In order to slow
attackers down, PBKDF2 introduces CPU-intensive operations based on an iterated …

RIPEMD-160 is a fast cryptographic hash function that is tuned towards software
implementations on 32-bit architectures. It has evolved from the 256-bit extension of MD4 …

This paper shows an extensive software performance analysis of dedicated hash functions,
particularly concentrating on Pentium III, which is a current dominant processor. The …

A computação peer-to-peer (P2P) tem promovido uma grande modificação nos padrões de
uso da Internet nos últimos anos. Sua grande vantagem, em relação à computação …

In today's information-based society, encryption along with the techniques for authentication
and integrity are key to the security of information. Cryptographic hashing algorithms, such …
