Title:
Designs of Efficient Secure Large Hash Values

Authors: Mridul Nandi

Abstract:

A double length hash function is a 2n-bit hash function based on
an n-bit compression function. To increase the security level,
designs of good double length hash functions are important. In
this paper we construct a class of maximally secure double length
hash functions in random oracle model based on some good
permutations. This class contains recently proposed double length
hash functions. We also propose an efficient double length hash function and study its security level in the random oracle model. We prove that any attack algorithm in the random oracle model needs \Omega(2^n/(s^2n^s)) time complexity, where s is some parameter related to the rate of the hash function. Thus there is a trade-off between the efficiency and security. We use the notion of computable
message to make the security analysis of proposed hash functions. We also see that the security analysis of hash functions based on random permutations and hash functions based on random functions are very much related.
