Rotational cryptanalysis of round-reduced Keccak
Pawel Morawiecki, Josef Pieprzyk, and Marian Srebrny
Abstract
In this paper we attack round-reduced Keccak hash function with a technique called rotational cryptanalysis. We focus on Keccak variants proposed as SHA-3 candidates in the NIST's contest for a new standard of cryptographic hash function. Our main result is a preimage attack on 4-round Keccak and a 5-round distinguisher on Keccak-f[1600] permutation --- the main building block of Keccak hash function.
Note: Complexity of 5-round distinguisher has been reduced. Also the paper write-up has been improved aiming at more clarity and rigorous treatment of notions and definitions.
