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: 14 rounds (n=224,256); 16 rounds (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 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).
