Gost-Hash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GOST R 34.11-94 is a 256-bit cryptographic hash function defined in the Russia's national standard GOST R 34.11-94 Information Technology - Cryptographic Information Security - Hash Function. The equivalent standard used by other member-states of the CIS is GOST 34.311-95.

Both standards are completely unrelated with GOST block cipher.

There is no serious cryptoanalysis of the GOST hash function.

[edit] GOST hashes

The following are some examples of GOST hashes:

GOST("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") =
 77b7fa410c9ac58a25f49bca7d0468c9296529315eaca76bd1a10f376d1f4294

Even a small change in the message will, with overwhelming probability, result in a completely different hash due to the avalanche effect. For example, changing d to c:

GOST("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cog") =
 a3ebc4daaab78b0be131dab5737a7f67e602670d543521319150d2e14eeec445

The hash of the zero-length string is:

GOST("") =
 ce85b99cc46752fffee35cab9a7b0278abb4c2d2055cff685af4912c49490f8d
