12-1 INTRODUCTION

• A cryptographic hash function takes a message of


arbitrary length and creates a message digest of
fixed length.
• Instead of creating a hash function with variable
size input, hash function with fixed size input will
be created and it will be used required number of
time.
• The fixed size input function is known as
compression function.
• The Scheme is referred as iterated cryptographic
hash function.

of algorithms, is based on the Merkle-Damgard
scheme.

Message Preparation
SHA-512 insists that the length of the original message
be less than 2128 bits.

Note
SHA-512 creates a 512-bit message digest out of a
message less than 2128.

Message Digest Initialization

• Each Value is a fraction part of the square root of the


corresponding prime after converting to the binary and
keeping only the 64 bits.
• Ex: 8th prime=19
• sqrt(19)= 4.35889894354(100.0101 …1001)2

There are 80 constants, K0 to K79, each of 64 bits. Similar


These values are calculated from the first 80 prime
numbers (2, 3,…, 409). For example, the 80th prime is
409, with the cubic root (409)1/3 = 7.42291412044.
Converting this number to binary with only 64 bits in the
fraction part, we get

The fraction part: (6C44198C4A475817)16

12.2.3 Analysis

be resistant to all attacks, including collision attacks.

MD Family

Introduction MD5
 Fifth iteration developed by Professor Ronald L.
Rivest (RSA) in 1991.
 According to RFC 1321, “MD5 message-digest
algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary
length and produces as output a 128-bit
"fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input …
 The MD5 algorithm is intended for digital
signature applications, where a large file must be
"compressed" in a secure manner before being
encrypted with a private (secret) key under a
public-key cryptosystem such as RSA.”
 MD5 is optimized for use on 32-bit computers
MD5 Algorithm Structure
MD5 Algorithm
Implementation Steps

Step1 Append padding bits


The input message is "padded" (extended) so that

its length (in bits) equals to 448 mod 512.


Padding is always performed, even if the length of

the message is already 448 mod 512.


Padding is performed as follows: a single "1" bit is

appended to the message, and then "0" bits are


appended so that the length in bits of the padded
message becomes congruent to 448 mod 512.
At least one bit and at most 512 bits are
appended.
Implementation Steps

Step2. Append length

A 64-bit representation of the length of the


message is appended to the result of step1.
If the length of the message is greater than 2^64,

only the low-order 64 bits will be used.


The resulting message (after padding with bits and

with b) has a length that is an exact multiple of 512


bits.
The input message will have a length that is an

exact multiple of 16 (32-bit) words.


Implementation Steps

Step3. Initialize MD buffer


A four-word buffer (A, B, C, D) is used to compute

the message digest. Each of A, B, C, D is a 32-bit


register. These registers are initialized to the
following values in hexadecimal, low-order bytes
first):

word A: 01 23 45 67
word B: 89 ab cd ef
word C: fe dc ba 98
word D: 76 54 32 10

Round 1.

[abcd k s i] denote the operation a = b + ((a + F (b, c, d)


+ X [k] + T [i]) <<< s).

Do the following 16 operations.


[ABCD 0 7 1] [DABC 1 12 2] [CDAB 2 17 3] [BCDA 3 22 4]
[ABCD 4 7 5] [DABC 5 12 6] [CDAB 6 17 7] [BCDA 7 22
8]
[ABCD 8 7 9] [DABC 9 12 10] [CDAB 10 17 11] [BCDA 11 22
12]
[ABCD 12 7 13] [DABC 13 12 14] [CDAB 14 17 15] [BCDA 15 22
16]
MD5 vs. MD4

 A fourth round has been added.


 Each step has a unique additive constant.
 The function g in round 2 was changed from (XY v
XZ v YZ) to (XZ v Y not(Z)).
 Each step adds in the result of the previous step.
 The order in which input words are accessed in
rounds 2 and 3 is changed.
 The shift amounts in each round have been
optimized. The shifts in different rounds are
distinct.
Summary

 Comparing to other digest algorithms, MD5 is


simple to implement, and provides a "fingerprint"
or message digest of a message of arbitrary
length.
 It performs very fast on 32-bit machine.
 MD5 is being used heavily from large
corporations, such as IBM, Cisco Systems, to
individual programmers.
 MD5 is considered one of the most efficient
algorithms currently available.
