F-HASH: Securing Hash Functions Using Feistel Chaining

Duo Lei
Abstract

The Feistel structure is well-known as a good structure for building block ciphers, due to its property of invertibility. It can be made non-invertible by fixing the left half of the input to 0, and by discarding the left half of the output bits. It then becomes suitable as a hash function construction. This paper uses the structure to build a hash function called F-Hash, which is immune to recent attack styles. In this paper, a more precise evaluation method, based upon conditional probability, is given.
