  1. Online Cryptography Course Dan Boneh Collision resistance The Merkle-Damgard Paradigm

  2. Collision resistance: review Let H: M T be a hash function ( |M| >> |T| ) A collision for H is a pair m0 , m1  M such that: H(m0) = H(m1) and m0  m1 Goal: collision resistant (C.R.) hash functions Step 1: given C.R. function for short messages, construct C.R. function for long messages

  3. The Merkle-Damgard iterated construction m[0] m[1] m[2] m[3] llPB Given h: T × X ⟶ T (compression function) we obtain H: X≤L⟶ T . Hi - chaining variables PB: padding block H(m) h h h h H0 H1 H2 H3 H4 IV (fixed) If no space for PB addanother block 1000…0 llmsglen 64 bits

  4. MD collision resistance Thm: if h is collision resistant then so is H. Proof: collision on H ⇒ collision on h Suppose H(M) = H(M’). We build collision for h. IV = H0 , H1 , … , Ht , Ht+1 = H(M) IV = H0’ , H1’ , … , H’r, H’r+1 = H(M’) h( Ht, Mtll PB) = Ht+1 = H’r+1 = h(H’r, M’rll PB’)

  5. Suppose Ht = H’r and Mt = M’r and PB = PB’ Then: h( Ht-1, Mt-1) = Ht = H’t = h(H’t-1, M’t-1 )

  6. ⇒ To construct C.R. function, suffices to construct compression function End of Segment
