Abstract

The MD4-family algorithms have been widely applied in cryptographic field. Nowadays, it is discovered that MD4- family algorithms are also suitable for random number generators. Since the MD4-family algorithms are computing intensive, they can be accelerated on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to generate massive high-quality random numbers. This paper presents acceleration of MD4-family algorithms based on GPU, and the results show that these implementations achieve 100 times speedup over AMD Sempron Processor LE-1200 CPU.
