PANAMA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PANAMA is a cryptographic primitive which can be used both as a hash function and a stream cipher. It was designed by Joan Daemen and Craig Clapp and presented in the paper Fast Hashing and Stream Encryption with PANAMA on the Fast Software Encryption (FSE) conference 1998. The cipher has influenced several other designs, for example MUGI.

The primitive can be used both as a hash function and a stream cipher. The stream cipher uses a 256-bit key and the performance of the cipher is very good reaching 2 cycles/Byte.

As a hash function, collisions have been shown by Vincent Rijmen et al in the paper Producing Collisions for PANAMA presented at FSE 2001. The attack shows a computational complexity of 282 and with negligible memory requirements.
