Topic: Tiger hash function


  
  Tiger (hash) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, Tiger is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1996 with a view for efficiency on 64-bit platforms.
It is frequently used in Merkle hash tree form, where it is referred to as TTH (Tiger Tree Hash).
Tiger was a possibility for inclusion in the OpenPGP standard; however, it was abandoned in favour of RIPEMD-160.

 Cryptographic hash function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
In cryptography, a cryptographic hash function is a hash function with certain additional security properties to make it suitable for use as a primitive in various information security applications, such as authentication and message integrity.
Note that checksums and Cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) are quite distinct from cryptographic hash functions and are vulnerable to attack; for example, a CRC was used for message integrity in the WEP encryption standard, but an attack was found which exploited the linearity of the checksum.
Mathematically, a cryptographic hash function is a hash function that is:

 Joel on Software - optimized hash functions
Hash functions that are described as cryptographic are generally the ones which are hard to invert in this sense (amongst other desirable properties).
A cryptographic hash function is designed in such a way that the correlations between any of the bits is kept down to an absolute minimum that can't be used for an attack.
Thus the strength of the hash is solely defined by the number of output bits, as long as the function itself is not broken.

 Cryptographic hash function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
An ideal hash function would be maximally "boring": it would have no interesting properties such as length extension, and the only interesting way it would differ from a random function would be in that it was deterministic and efficiently computable.
A typical use of a cryptographic hash would be as follows: Alice poses to Bob a tough math problem and claims she has solved it.
The SHA hash functions are a series of functions developed by the NSA: SHA, also known as SHA-0, SHA-1 and four flavours of a function known as SHA-2.

Increasing the output of a function to 192-bits increases the difficulty in attacking the function by an astronomically large amount, and provides peace of mind for cryptographers relying on the function to be secure.
These functions do not need to be slow, and the authors of these functions have overlooked a simple enough concept in their design.
This is the concept of optimal allocation of CPU cycles used during a hash function's execution.

 Tree Hash EXchange format (THEX)
The Merkle Hash Tree, invented by Ralph Merkle, is a hash construct that exhibits desirable properties for verifying the integrity of files and file subranges in an incremental or out-of-order fashion.
The same hash algorithm is used as the basis of each construct, but a single '1' byte in network byte order, or 0x01 is prepended to the input of the internal node hashes, and a single '0' byte, or 0x00 is prepended to the input of the leaf node hashes.
If the the segment size is equal to or larger than the file to be hashed, the tree hash value is the value of the single segment's value, which is the same as the underlying hash algorithm value for the whole file.

 Cryptographic Algorithms
Cryptographic hash functions are used in various contexts, for example to compute the message digest when making a digital signature.
A hash function compresses the bits of a message to a fixed-size hash value in a way that distributes the possible messages evenly among the possible hash values.
A cryptographic hash function does this in a way that makes it extremely difficult to come up with a message that would hash to a particular hash value.

 Digest::SHA2 - A variable-length one-way hash function
Returns the digest size (in bits) of the hash output used; valid sizes are 256, 384, and 512 only.
Tiger, on the other hand, outputs 192 bits of digest, using 3 rounds; but for added security, can also use 4 rounds.
Before calculating another digest, reset() refreshes the hash state, and is, therefore, functionally equivalent to the new() method, except that no SHA-2 object is created.

 Tiger: A Fast New Hash Function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
Among those cryptographic hash function which are not based on block ciphers, MD4 and Snefru seemed initially quite attractive for applications requiring fast software hashing.
Furthermore, all these functions were designed for 32-bit processors, and cannot be implemented efficiently on the new generation of 64-bit processors such as the DEC Alpha.
We therefore present a new hash function which we believe to be secure; it is designed to run quickly on 64-bit processors, without being too slow on existing machines.

 AudioSense.org - Add Tiger Tree Hash to AccurateRip DB Poll
What the tiger tree hash is. It is basically applying the tiger hash (just another hash algorith, such as sha1, crc, md5, ect) to small chunks of the file.
There is then a tree of hashing that occurs where the 1st 2 hashes are hashed, 3 and 4 are hashed, ect...
IF the root hash matches there is no reason to verify the chunks, but if the root does not match you could attempt to verify chunks of the file to see if a segment can be identified that is corrupt.

The key innovation is that, instead of having to do a digital signature each time the customer spends a coin, she can sign a whole stick of coins that are hashed together in a recursive way and then spend these coins one at a time.
The recursive hashing technique greatly reduces the computational complexity in applications where a series of low value payments are made to the same merchant.
Hash chains, as used in the NetCard protocol, are utilised in a different way to establish secure association at low computational cost.

Example: if the bit string 1110 is hashed with a big-bit-endian, little-byte-endian, left-justified algorithm, then this becomes the octet string [11101000, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000], which corresponds to the word 00000000000000000000000011101000.
When the compression function is used directly, it is considered to include the chaining variable addition (as opposed to being separate as shown in the specification).
