The collision security of Tandem-DM in the ideal cipher model

Jooyoung Lee, Martijn Stam, and John Steinberger

Abstract

We prove that Tandem-DM, one of the two ``classical'' schemes for turning a blockcipher of $2n$-bit key into a double block length hash function, has birthday-type collision resistance in the ideal cipher model. A collision resistance analysis for Tandem-DM achieving a similar birthday-type bound was already proposed by Fleischmann, Gorski and Lucks at FSE 2009. As we detail, however, the latter analysis is wrong, thus leaving the collision resistance of Tandem-DM as an open problem until now.

Note: The ProvSec`10 paper is discussed in Appendix
