| Summary: | Cryptographic hash functions take an unfixed size of
input and produce a fixed size of an output. A hash function is
built using two main components: a compression function and
mode of operation. Sponge construction is one of the main
operations of modes used in modern cryptographic hash function
today. In this paper, we present multicollisions attack in sponge
construction. Joux et al. [3] presented multicollision attack in
iterated hash function. Our attack is similar to Joux attack but
specifically for sponge construction. We showed that
multicollisions in sponge construction of messages when the
capacity c=n* yields to the same hash digest. Then, we use
multicollision attack as a tool to prove that concatenating more
than one hash function in order to increase the security level
does not yield to more secure hash function. |
