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

A description of the tables is given [http://ehash.iaik.tugraz.at/wiki/Cryptanalysis_Categories#Individual_Hash_Function_Tables here].

Recommended security parameters: r/b = '''16/32''' (n=224,256); '''16/32''' (n=384,512)
 +
 
 +
=== Hash function ===
 +
 
 +
Here we list results on the hash function according to the NIST requirements. The only allowed modification is to change the security parameter.

This kind of attack is expected to cost 2^256 for a good 512-bit hash function, and we argue that this violates the expected security of CubeHash. The preimage attack can also be used as a collision attack, given that a generic quantum collision attack on a 512-bit hash function require 2^256 operations, as explained in the CubeHash submission document.
 +
This attack only use very simple techniques: we use the symmetry properties of CubeHash which were already described in the submission document and have been analyzed in detail later, together with Gover's algorithm which is also discussed in the submission document.}

    abtract = {Recent developments in the field of cryptanalysis of hash functions has inspired NIST to announce a competition for selecting a new cryptographic hash function to join the SHA family of standards. One of the 14 second-round candidates is CubeHash designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. CubeHash is a unique hash function in the sense that it does not iterate a common compression function, and offers a structure which resembles a sponge function, even though it is not exactly a sponge function. In this paper we analyze reduced-round variants of CubeHash where the adversary controls the full 1024-bit input to reduced-round CubeHash and can observe its full output. We show that linear approximations with high biases exist in reduced-round variants. For example, we present an 11-round linear approximation with bias of 2^{&#8722;235}, which allows distinguishing 11-round CubeHash using about 2^{470} queries. We also discuss the extension of this distinguisher to 12 rounds using message modification techniques. Finally, we present a linear distinguisher for 14-round CubeHash which uses about 2^{812} queries.}

(2) We point out some flaws in previously claimed attacks which tried to exploit the symmetry classes. (3) We present and analyze new multicollision and preimage attacks. For the default parameter setting of CubeHash, namely for a message block size of b = 32, the new attacks are slightly faster than 2^384 operations. If one increases the size of a message block by a single byte to b = 33, our multicollision and preimage attacks become much faster – they only require about 2^256 operations. This demonstrates how sensitive the security of CubeHash is, depending on minor changes of the tunable security parameter b. }

Cube tests were used to probe each algorithm's internal polynomial structure for a large number of choices of the polynomial input variables. The cube test data were calculated on a 40-core hybrid SMP cluster parallel computer. The cube test data were subjected to three statistical tests: balance, independence, and off-by-one. Although isolated statistical test failures were observed, the balance and off-by-one tests did not find nonrandom behavior overall in either CubeHash or Skein. However, the independence test did find nonrandom behavior overall in both CubeHash and Skein. }

However, the attack does not break the CubeHash variants recommended for SHA-3. The attack requires minimal memory and can be performed in a massively parallel fashion. This paper also describes several statistical randomness tests on CubeHash. The tests were unable to disprove the hypothesis that CubeHash behaves as a random mapping.

    abstract = {In this paper, an improved differential cryptanalysis framework for finding collisions in hash functions is provided. Its principle is based on linearization of compression functions in order to find low weight differential characteristics as initiated by Chabaud and Joux. This is formalized and refined however in several ways: for the problem of finding a conforming message pair whose differential trail follows a linear trail, a condition function is introduced so that finding a collision is equivalent to finding a preimage of the zero vector for the condition function. Then, the dependency table concept shows how much influence every input bit of the condition function has on its output bits. Careful analysis of the dependency table reveals degrees of freedom that can be exploited in accelerated preimage reconstruction of the condition function. These concepts are applied to an in-depth collision analysis of reduced-round versions of the two SHA-3 candidates CubeHash and MD6, and are demonstrated to give by far the best currently known collision attacks on these SHA-3 candidates.},

  abstract = {CubeHash is a family of hash functions submitted by Bern stein as a SHA-3 candidate. In this paper, we provide two different cryptanalysis approaches concerning its collision resistance. Thanks to the first approach, related to truncated differentials, we computed a collision for the CubeHash-1/36 hash function, i.e. when for each iteration 36 bytes of message are incorporated and one call to the permutation is applied. Then, the second approach, already used by Dai, much more efficient and simply based on a linearization of the scheme, allowed us to compute a collision for the CubeHash-2/4 hash function. Finally, a theoretical collision attack against CubeHash-2/3, CubeHash-4/4 and CubeHash-4/3 is described. This is currently the best known cryptanalysis result on this SHA-3 candidate.},

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.

Recommended security parameters: r/b = 16/32 (n=224,256); 16/32 (n=384,512)

2.1 Hash function

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

Type of Analysis Hash Size (n) Parameters/Variants Compression Function Calls Memory Requirements Reference
preimage 384,512 r/32 2383.7 - Ferguson,Lucks,McKay

preimage all r/b 2513-4b - Aumasson,Meier,Naya-Plasencia,Peyrin
collision all r/b 2521-4b-log b - submission document
preimage all r/b 2522-4b-log b - submission document


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
quantum preimage hash 512 2192 - Leurent

distinguisher permutation all 11 rounds 2470 - Ashur,Dunkelman
observations hash all - - Kaminsky

multi-collision hash all 2513-4b - Aumasson,Meier,Naya-Plasencia,Peyrin
observations permutation all - - Aumasson,Meier,Naya-Plasencia,Peyrin
