In this paper, we design a lightweight hash function suitable for fast applications. The proposed hash function is intended to be used as a secondary component in cryptographic and pseudo-cryptographic applications (e.g., pseudorandom number generators, cryptosystems), where the required property is the fastness in addition to an acceptable security level. Based on simple logical operations used in designing primitive functions, and based on a Feistel-like network, the proposed hash function exhibits excellent performance (fastness) and good enough security properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
