A POLYNOMIAL BASED HASHING ALGORITHM

Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe a new hash algorithm using polynomials over finite fields. It runs at speeds comparable to SHA-3. Hardware implementations seem to run at significantly faster speeds, namely at 1.8 Gb/sec on an FPGA. Unlike most other existing hash algorithms, our construction does not follow the Damgaard-Merkle philosophy. The hash has several attractive features in terms of its flexibility. In particular, the length of the hash is a parameter that can be set at the outset. Moreover, the estimated degree of collision resistance is measured in terms of another parameter whose value can be varied.
