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:

1.1.1 Message Expansion

The message expansion is defined as follows:

math


1.1.2 State Update Transformation

math

1.2 Padding Method

1.3 Constantsand Initial Value

1.3.1 Constants

math

1.3.2 Initial Value

2 Claimed/Expected Security Margins

3 Security Anaylsis

  • Best know attack: 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.
