Abstract: This paper analyzes the security and performance of the isogeny-based hash functions. The isogeny-based hash function was first proposed by Charles, Goren, and Lauter, and is referred to as ...

Hash functions are a basic cryptographic primitive. Certain hash functions try to prove security against collision and preimage attacks by reductions to known hard problems. These hash functions ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study about the construction models that are used to build hash functions. The study covers Merkle-Damgård, Sponge, HAIFA, Wide-Pipe, and Parallel-Tree constructions.
