A cryptographic hash function is an important tool in cryptography for applications such as digital fingerprinting of messages, message authentication and key derivation [1]. Particular hash functions are distinguished by the nature of the preprocessing [2], compression function, and output transformation. The hash-value corresponding to a particular input is computed at some point in time. The integrity of this hash-value is protected in some manner. At a subsequent point in time, to verify that the input data have not been altered, the hash value is recomputed using the input at hand, and compared for equality with the original hash-value. In this paper, a new hash function or a message digest has been proposed as an authentication scheme.

There are different methods by which a message hashing could be embedded in a communications network, therefore different approaches are described in this research to protect the hash value of a message. The structure of a cryptographically secure function (SHA-512) is presented along with the low-level algorithm sequence. Subsequently is detailed the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) produced by concatenating a secret key and message, after which the composite message is hashed. However, the HMAC numerical structure and the specific operating algorithm are explained in detail to the logical gate level. Finally, several considerations regarding the low-level implementation of the code are concluded.

— " One way hash functions " plays an important role in data integrity, message authentication, and digital signature in modern information security. This paper proposed a fast one-way hash function to optimize the time delay with strong collision resistance, assures a good compression and one-way resistance. It is based on the standard secure hash function (SHA-1) algorithm. The analysis indicates that the proposed algorithm which we call OSHA is time efficient and proven for better compression function.

Due to the rapid development of internet technologies, voluminous data is generated every minute from multifarious sources. Therefore, it becomes arduous for traditional tools to analyse and process such a huge amount of data. Cryptographic hashing is one of the best techniques to cope with big data in an effective way. It also plays a pivotal role in protecting integrity of message while in transmission. In this paper, a novel one-way cryptographic hashing algorithm has been proposed, this produces a digest of size 128 bits for any length of a message. This paper provides implementation results of basic properties of the hashing algorithm and these results prove that proposed algorithm is better than the existing ones in terms of execution time and security.

The focus of this work is to provide authentication and confidentiality of messages in a swift and cost effective manner to suit the fast growing Internet applications. A nested hash function with lower computational and storage demands is designed with a view to providing authentication as also to encrypt the message as well as the hash code using a fast stream cipher MAJE4 with a variable key size of 128-bit or 256-bit for achieving confidentiality. Both nested Hash function and MAJE4 stream cipher algorithm use primitive computational operators commonly found in microprocessors; this makes the method simple and fast to implement both in hardware and software. Since the memory requirement is less, it can be used for handheld devices for security purposes.

The term hash function has been used in computer science from quite some time and it refers to a function that compresses a string of arbitrary input to a string of fixed length. Cryptographic hash functions are one of the most important tools in the field of cryptography and are used to achieve a number of security goals like authenticity, digital signatures, pseudo number generation, digital steganography, digital time stamping etc. For the past few decades cryptographic hash function become the centre of attention in the cryptographic community. The security of hash function became an important topic as almost every day the world of hash function is facing a new attack. The present paper provides an extensive study on cryptographic hash functions with their applications, properties and detailed classification and also presents a detailed description of cryptographic hash algorithms. It also discusses a general classification of all kinds of possible attacks on hash function analyses some attacks on specific hash functions.

Hashing is a process of transforming a variable length data message into a fixed size message digest. Hashing algorithms are considered one-way functions, since the input cannot be determined from the message digests. As a security tool in data communication, hashing is used both for protecting data integrity and for authentication. This study introduces a newly developed hash function. In hashing function, the most important features required are that the function must hash a message of any size, a message with a fixed size, and minor changes formed in hashed message must also change the hash. Effects of possible deformations in the hash message will subsequently be discussed through some tests.

This paper considers the use of hash fktions for message authentication. It is shown that a proposed method for using hash functions does not provide a secure non-repudiation service.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in many applications to gather sensitive information which is then forwarded to an analysis center. Resource limitations have to be taken into account when designing a WSN infrastructure. Authentication in WSNs is critical, as they are often deployed unattended in hostile environments and must transmit information over unsecured mediums. However, the cost of performing cryptographic operations is an extremely limiting factor because sensor devices and related equipment are constrained by storage and computational ability. Hash functions are the most widespread among all Authentication primitives, and are currently used in multiple cryptographic schemes and in security protocols. This paper presents a new Secure Hash Algorithm called (2AMD-160) which uses a famous structure of hash algorithm given by the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and RSA Data Security, Inc. To demonstrate the effectiveness of 2AMD-l60 in terms of security and execution time, we compare our approach with two methods namely, MD5 and SHAl hash function algorithms. Simulation results demonstrate that the execution time and the security achieved by the proposed method are more effective than the MD5 and SHAI.

A design approach to create small-sized highspeed implementations of the Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) is presented. The proposed implementation can either operate in HMAC-MD5 and/or in HMAC-SHA1 mode. The proposed implementations do not introduce significant area penalty. However the achieved throughput presents an increase compared to commercially available IP cores that range from 30%-390%. The main contribution of the paper is the increase of the HMAC throughput to the required level to be used in modern telecommunication applications, such as VPN and the oncoming 802.11n.

Recent cryptanalytic attacks have exposed the vulnerabilities of some widely used cryptographic hash functions like MD5 and SHA-1. Attacks in the line of differential attacks have been used to expose the weaknesses of several other hash functions like RIPEMD, HAVAL. In this paper we propose a new efficient hash algorithm that provides a near random hash output and overcomes some of the earlier weaknesses. Extensive simulations and comparisons with some existing hash functions have been done to prove the effectiveness of the BSA, which is an acronym for the name of the 3 authors.
