LSH (hash function)

From HandWiki
Short description: Cryptographic hash function

LSH is a cryptographic hash function designed in 2014 by South Korea to provide integrity in general-purpose software environments such as PCs and smart devices.[1] LSH is one of the cryptographic algorithms approved by the Korean Cryptographic Module Validation Program (KCMVP). And it is the national standard of South Korea (KS X 3262).

Specification

The overall structure of the hash function LSH is shown in the following figure.

Overall structure of LSH

The hash function LSH has the wide-pipe Merkle-Damgård structure with one-zeros padding. The message hashing process of LSH consists of the following three stages.

  1. Initialization:
    • One-zeros padding of a given bit string message.
    • Conversion to 32-word array message blocks from the padded bit string message.
    • Initialization of a chaining variable with the initialization vector.
  2. Compression:
    • Updating of chaining variables by iteration of a compression function with message blocks.
  3. Finalization:
    • Generation of an [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math]-bit hash value from the final chaining variable.
  • function Hash function LSH
  • input: Bit string message [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math]
  • output: Hash value [math]\displaystyle{ h \in \{ 0, 1 \}^n }[/math]
  • procedure

Initialization

Let [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math] be a given bit string message. The given [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math] is padded by one-zeros, i.e., the bit ‘1’ is appended to the end of [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math], and the bit ‘0’s are appended until a bit length of a padded message is [math]\displaystyle{ 32wt }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ t = \lceil (|m| + 1)/32w\rceil }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \lceil x \rceil }[/math] is the smallest integer not less than [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math].

Let [math]\displaystyle{ m_p = m_0 \| m_1 \| \ldots \| m_{(32wt-1)} }[/math] be the one-zeros-padded [math]\displaystyle{ 32wt }[/math]-bit string of [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math]. Then [math]\displaystyle{ m_p }[/math] is considered as a [math]\displaystyle{ 4wt }[/math]-byte array [math]\displaystyle{ m_a = (m[0], \ldots , m[4wt-1]) }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ m[k] = m_{8k} \| m_{(8k+1)} \| \ldots \| m_{(8k+7)} }[/math] for all [math]\displaystyle{ 0 \le k \le (4wt-1) }[/math]. The [math]\displaystyle{ 4wt }[/math]-byte array [math]\displaystyle{ m_a }[/math] converts into a [math]\displaystyle{ 32t }[/math]-word array [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M} = (M[0], \ldots , M[32t-1]) }[/math] as follows.

[math]\displaystyle{ M[s] \leftarrow m[ws/8+(w/8-1)] \| \ldots \| m[ws/8+1] \| m[ws/8] }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ (0 \le s \le (32t-1)) }[/math]

From the word array [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M} }[/math], we define the [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] 32-word array message blocks [math]\displaystyle{ \{ \textsf{M}^{(i)} \}_{i=0}^{t-1} }[/math] as follows.

[math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}^{(i)} \leftarrow (M[32i], M[32i+1], \ldots , M[32i+31]) }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ (0 \le i \le (t-1)) }[/math]

The 16-word array chaining variable [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(0)} }[/math] is initialized to the initialization vector [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{IV} }[/math].

[math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(0)}[l] \leftarrow \textsf{IV}[l] }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ (0 \le l \le 15) }[/math]

The initialization vector [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{IV} }[/math] is as follows. In the following tables, all values are expressed in hexadecimal form.

Compression

In this stage, the [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] 32-word array message blocks [math]\displaystyle{ \{ \textsf{M}^{(i)} \}_{i=0}^{t-1} }[/math], which are generated from a message [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math] in the initialization stage, are compressed by iteration of compression functions. The compression function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{CF} : \mathcal{W}^{16} \times \mathcal{W}^{32} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}^{16} }[/math] has two inputs; the [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math]-th 16-word chaining variable [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(i)} }[/math] and the [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math]-th 32-word message block [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}^{(i)} }[/math]. And it returns the [math]\displaystyle{ (i+1) }[/math]-th 16-word chaining variable [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(i+1)} }[/math]. Here and subsequently, [math]\displaystyle{ \mathcal{W}^t }[/math] denotes the set of all [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math]-word arrays for [math]\displaystyle{ t \ge 1 }[/math].

The following four functions are used in a compression function:

  • Message expansion function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{MsgExp}: \mathcal{W}^{32} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}^{16(Ns+1)} }[/math]
  • Message addition function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{MsgAdd}: \mathcal{W}^{16} \times \mathcal{W}^{16} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}^{16} }[/math]
  • Mix function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{Mix}_j: \mathcal{W}^{16} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}^{16} }[/math]
  • Word-permutation function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{WordPerm}: \mathcal{W}^{16} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}^{16} }[/math]

The overall structure of the compression function is shown in the following figure.

In a compression function, the message expansion function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{MsgExp} }[/math] generates [math]\displaystyle{ (N_s+1) }[/math] 16-word array sub-messages [math]\displaystyle{ \{ \textsf{M}_j^{(i)} \}_{j=0}^{N_s} }[/math] from given [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}^{(i)} }[/math]. Let [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{T} = (T[0], \ldots , T[15]) }[/math] be a temporary 16-word array set to the [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math]-th chaining variable [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(i)} }[/math]. The [math]\displaystyle{ j }[/math]-th step function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{Step}_j }[/math] having two inputs [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{T} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}_j^{(i)} }[/math] updates [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{T} }[/math], i.e., [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{T} \leftarrow \textrm{Step}_j \left( \textsf{T}, \textsf{M}_j^{(i)} \right) }[/math]. All step functions are proceeded in order [math]\displaystyle{ j = 0, \ldots, N_s - 1 }[/math]. Then one more [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{MsgAdd} }[/math] operation by [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}_{N_s}^{(i)} }[/math] is proceeded, and the [math]\displaystyle{ (i+1) }[/math]-th chaining variable [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(i+1)} }[/math] is set to [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{T} }[/math]. The process of a compression function in detail is as follows.

The first two sub-messages [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}_{0}^{(i)} = ( M_{0}^{(i)}[0], \ldots , M_{0}^{(i)}[15] ) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}_{1}^{(i)} = ( M_{1}^{(i)}[0], \ldots , M_{1}^{(i)}[15] ) }[/math] are defined as follows.

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{M}_1^{(i)} \leftarrow (M^{(i)}[16], M^{(i)}[17], \ldots , M^{(i)}[31]) }[/math]

The next sub-messages [math]\displaystyle{ \{ \textsf{M}_j^{(i)} = ( M_{j}^{(i)}[0], \ldots , M_{j}^{(i)}[15] ) \}_{j=2}^{N_s} }[/math] are generated as follows.

For [math]\displaystyle{ 0 \le j \lt N_s }[/math], the mix function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{Mix}_j }[/math] proceeds as follows.

Word-Permutation Function WordPerm

Let [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{X} = (X[0], \ldots , X[15]) }[/math] be a 16-word array. The word-permutation function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{WordPerm} : \mathcal{W}^{16} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}^{16} }[/math] is defined as follows.

[math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{WordPerm}( \textsf{X}) = (X[\sigma(0)], \ldots , X[\sigma(15)]) }[/math]

Here [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma }[/math] is the permutation over [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbb{Z}_{16} }[/math] defined by the following table.

The permutation [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma : \mathbb{Z}_{16} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_{16} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ l }[/math] 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
[math]\displaystyle{ \sigma(l) }[/math] 6 4 5 7 12 15 14 13 2 0 1 3 8 11 10 9

Finalization

The finalization function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{FIN}_n : \mathcal{W}^{16} \rightarrow \{0, 1\}^{n} }[/math] returns [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math]-bit hash value [math]\displaystyle{ h }[/math] from the final chaining variable [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{CV}^{(t)} = ( CV^{(t)}[0], \ldots , CV^{(t)}[15]) }[/math]. When [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{H} = (H[0], \ldots , H[7]) }[/math] is an 8-word variable and [math]\displaystyle{ \textsf{h}_\textsf{b} = (h_b[0], \ldots , h_b[w-1]) }[/math] is a [math]\displaystyle{ w }[/math]-byte variable, the finalization function [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{FIN}_n }[/math] performs the following procedure.

  • [math]\displaystyle{ H[l] \leftarrow CV^{(t)}[l] \oplus CV^{(t)}[l+8] }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ (0 \le l \le 7) }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ h_b[s] \leftarrow H[\lfloor 8s/w\rfloor ]^{\ggg (8s \mod w)}_{[7:0]} }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ (0 \le s \le (w-1)) }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ h \leftarrow (h_b[0] \| \ldots \| h_b[w-1])_{[0:n-1]} }[/math]

Here, [math]\displaystyle{ X_{[i:j]} }[/math] denotes [math]\displaystyle{ x_i \| x_{i-1} \| \ldots \| x_j }[/math], the sub-bit string of a word [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] for [math]\displaystyle{ i \ge j }[/math]. And [math]\displaystyle{ x_{[i:j]} }[/math] denotes [math]\displaystyle{ x _i \| x_{i+1} \| \ldots \| x_j }[/math], the sub-bit string of a [math]\displaystyle{ l }[/math]-bit string [math]\displaystyle{ x = x_0 \| x_1 \| \ldots \| x_{l-1} }[/math] for [math]\displaystyle{ i \le j }[/math].

Security

LSH is secure against known attacks on hash functions up to now. LSH is collision-resistant for [math]\displaystyle{ q \lt 2^{n/2} }[/math] and preimage-resistant and second-preimage-resistant for [math]\displaystyle{ q \lt 2^n }[/math] in the ideal cipher model, where [math]\displaystyle{ q }[/math] is a number of queries for LSH structure.[1] LSH-256 is secure against all the existing hash function attacks when the number of steps is 13 or more, while LSH-512 is secure if the number of steps is 14 or more. Note that the steps which work as security margin are 50% of the compression function.[1]
