Abstract

We propose a variant of the CGL hash, Charles et al. 2009, that is significantly faster than the original algorithm, and prove that it is preimage and collision resistant. For $n = \log p$ where $p$ is the characteristic of the finite field, the performance ratio between CGL and the new proposal is $(5.7n + 110) / (13.5\log n + 46.4)$. This gives an exponential speed up as the size of $p$ increases. Assuming the best quantum preimage attack on the hash has complexity $O(p^{\frac{1}{4}})$, we attain a concrete speed-up for a 256-bit quantum preimage security level by a factor 33.5. For a 384-bit quantum preimage security level, the speed-up is by a factor 47.8.
