<p class="p1">A new hash function <em>HeW: </em>A hash function based on light weight block cipher <em>FeW </em>is proposed in this paper. The compression function of <em>HeW </em>is based on block cipher <em>FeW</em>. It is believed that key expansion algorithm of block cipher slows down the performance of the overlying hash function. Thereby, block ciphers become a less favourable choice to design a compression function. As a countermeasure, we cut down the key size of <em>FeW </em>from 80-bit to 64-bit and provide a secure and efficient key expansion algorithm for the modified key size. <em>FeW </em>based compression function plays a vital role to enhance the efficiency of <em>HeW</em>. We test the hash output for randomness using the NIST statistical test suite and test the avalanche effect, bit variance and near collision resistance. We also give the security estimates of <em>HeW </em>against differential cryptanalysis, length extension attack, slide attack and rotational distinguisher.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary sizeto data of fixed size. A hash function usually has two main components: a permutationfunction or compression function and mode of operation. We will propose a new concretenovel design of a permutation based hash functions called Gear in this paper. It is a hashfunction based on block cipher in Davies-Meyer mode. It uses the patched version ofMerkle-Damgård, i.e. the wide pipe construction as its mode of operation. Thus, theintermediate chaining value has at least twice larger length than the output hash. Andthe permutations functions used in Gear are inspired from the SHA-3 finalist Grøestl hashfunction which is originally inspired from Rijndael design (AES). There is a very strongconfusion and diffusion in Gear as a result.

A scheme for constructing one-way Hash function based on hyperchaos induced by time delay and key-stream function iteration is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, the plaintext and secret key are used as the initial value in two hyperchaotic Chen systems; these values are evolved in a hyperchaotic way during a predefined period. The results of the evolution are quantified and iterated using key-stream function iteration to confuse and diffuse the plaintext and secret key. The cipher block chaining mode is used to generate a 128 bits Hash value for a plaintext of arbitrary length. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm has satisfactory performance, such as value compression function, irreversibility, initial value sensitivity, forgery resistance and collision resistance.
