Cryptanalysis of a hash function, and the modular subset sum problem

Cryptanalysis of a hash function, and the modular subset sum problem AbstractRecently, Shpilrain and Sosnovski proposed a hash function based on composition of affine maps.In this paper, we show that this hash function with its proposed parameters is notweak collision resistant, for plaintexts of size at least 1.9MB (about 224{2^{24}}bits).Our approach is to reduce the preimage problem to a (very) high density instance of theRandom Modular Subset Sum Problem, for which we give an algorithm capable of solving instances of the resulting size.Specifically, given plaintexts of about 1.9MB, we were able to produce other plaintexts of the same size with the same hash value in about 13 hours each, on average. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Groups Complexity Cryptology de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractRecently, Shpilrain and Sosnovski proposed a hash function based on composition of affine maps.In this paper, we show that this hash function with its proposed parameters is notweak collision resistant, for plaintexts of size at least 1.9MB (about 224{2^{24}}bits).Our approach is to reduce the preimage problem to a (very) high density instance of theRandom Modular Subset Sum Problem, for which we give an algorithm capable of solving instances of the resulting size.Specifically, given plaintexts of about 1.9MB, we were able to produce other plaintexts of the same size with the same hash value in about 13 hours each, on average.
