2 Cryptanalysis

We distinguish between two cases: results on the complete hash function, and results on underlying building blocks.

A description of the tables is given here.


2.1 Hash function

Here we list results on the actual hash function. The only allowed modification is to change the security parameter.

Recommended security parameters: 10 rounds (n=224,256); 14 rounds (n=384,512)

Type of Analysis Hash Size (n) Parameters Compression Function Calls Memory Requirements Reference
preimage 224,256 2.5 rounds 2n-15 - Ji,Liangyu
preimage 384 2.5 rounds 2355 - Ji,Liangyu
preimage 512 2.5 rounds 2481 - Ji,Liangyu


2.2 Building blocks

Here we list results on underlying building blocks, and the hash function modified by other means than the security parameter.

Note that these results assume more direct control or access over some internal variables (aka. free-start, pseudo, compression function, block cipher, or permutation attacks).

Type of Analysis Hash Function Part Hash Size (n) Parameters/Variants Compression Function Calls Memory Requirements Reference
free-start collision hash 224,256 2.5 rounds 2n/2-16 - Ji,Liangyu
free-start collision hash 384,512 2.5 rounds 2n/2-32 - Ji,Liangyu
near-collision compression function 256 4 rounds (nb. 6-9) 242 - Guo,Matusiewicz
impossible differential permutation 224,256 5 rounds - - Aumasson,Guo,Knellwolf,Matusiewicz,Meier
impossible differential permutation 384,512 6 rounds - - Aumasson,Guo,Knellwolf,Matusiewicz,Meier
