On the Complexity of Khovratovich et.al's Preimage Attack on Edon-R

Danilo Gligoroski and Rune Steinsmo Ø degå rd

Abstract: Based on the analysis made by van Oorschot and Wiener for the complexity of parallel memoryless collision search, we show that the memoryless meet-in-the-middle attack which is one part of the whole preimage attack of Khovratovich et. al. on Edon-R hash function has complexity bigger than 2^n.
