External Cryptanalysis Categories
From The ECRYPT Hash Function Website
For presentation reasons, we provide a simplified overview about cryptanalytic results in The SHA-3 Zoo. We only consider cryptanalytic results that have not been performed by the designers themselves and are included in the initial proposal, hence the name 'external'. Exceptions are cryptanalytic results by non-designers and cryptanalytic results by designers that are not mentioned in the proposal.
We use the following categories for External Cryptanalysis:
- none: no external cryptanalysis is known
- yes: there are cryptanalytic results known
- broken: external cryptanalytic results disprove claims by the designers and/or requirements for a future SHA-3
