SHA-1

1 General Description

SHA-1 is an iterated hash function.

1.1 Compression Function

The compression function takes as input a 512-bit message block and a 160-bit chaining variable, and produces a 160-bit chaining value. The compression function is described as follows:

1.1.2 State Update Transformation

<math>

   A_{i+1} = A_i << 5 + W_i + f(B_i,C_i,D_i) + K_i

</math>

<math>

   B_{i+1} = A_i

</math>

<math>

   C_{i+1} = B_i >> 2

</math>

<math>

   D_{i+1} = C_i

</math>

<math>

   E_{i+1} = D_i

</math>

1.3 Initial Value and Constants

WikiTeX: latex reported a failure, namely:

/data/www/ehash/html/extensions/wikitex/wikitex.sh: line 59: latex: command not found

3 Security Anaylsis

• Best know attack: <math>2^{63}</math> by Wang et.al.
• Best known collision example: 64-step collision by De Canniere and Rechberger

something like: best know attack to date: kind of attack, which variant has been looked at (e.g. round-reduced), complexity, and reference to paper and abstract.
