A 2nd-Preimage Attack on AURORA-512

Yu Sasaki
Abstract

In this note, we present a 2nd-preimage attack on AURORA-512, which is one of the candidates for SHA-3. Our attack can generate 2nd-preimages of any given message, in particular, the attack complexity becomes optimal when the message length is 9 blocks or more. In such a case, the attack complexity is approximately $2^{290}$ AURORA-512 operations, which is less than the brute force attack on AURORA-512, namely, $2^{512-\log_2{9}}\approx2^{508}$. Our attack exploits some weakness in the mode of operation.
