Finding collisions for MD4 hash algorithm using hybrid algorithm

Marko Carić
Abstract

The modification of message that meets the sufficient conditions for collision is found in the last step of differential attack proposed by Wang et all. (2005) on MD4 hash algorithm. Here we show how this attack phase, finding a collision starting from the list of sufficient conditions for the collision, can be implemented using a combination of two algorithms - evolutionary algorithm and hill climbing. Hybridization of evolutionary algorithm and hill climbing is a well-known technique for improving solutions, but it isn't applied to this domain (at least by information that author has collected).
