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 parameter: 24 rounds (Keccak-f [1600])

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	Compression Function Calls	Memory Requirements	Reference

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
preimage(2)	hash	1024	3 rounds, 40 bit message	1852 seconds (234.11)	?	Morawiecki,Srebrny
distinguisher(1)	permutation	all	18 rounds	21370		Boura,Canteaut
distinguisher(1)	permutation	all	16 rounds	21023.88		Aumasson,Meier
key recovery	secret-prefix MAC	224	4 rounds	219	?	Lathrop

⁽¹⁾The Keccak team commented on these distinguishers and provide generic constructions in this note.

⁽²⁾The Keccak team estimated the complexity of this attack with 2^34.11 evaluations of 3-rounds of Keccak-f[1600] in this note (exhaustive search: 2⁴⁰).
