Abstract

We propose an efficient algorithm that hashes messages of arbitrary bit length into an 128 bit hash value. The algorithm is designed to make the production of a pair of colliding messages computationally infeasible. The algorithm performs a discrete Fourier transform and a polynomial recursion over a finite field. Each hash value in {0,1}128 occurs with frequency at most 2-120. This hash function is an improved variant of the algorithm FFT-hash I presented in the rump session of CRYPTO '91.
