Construction of UOWHF: Tree Hashing Revisited

Palash Sarkar

Abstract

We present a binary tree based parallel algorithm for extending the domain of a UOWHF. The key length expansion is $2m$ bits for $t=2$; $m(t+1)$ bits for $3\leq t\leq 6$ and $m\times(t+\lfloor\log_2 (t-1)\rfloor)$ bits for $t\geq 7$, where $m$ is the length of the message digest and $t\geq 2$ is the height of the binary tree.

Note: The revision removes some minor but potentially confusing typos.
