On the security of the Rescue hash function

Tim Beyne, Anne Canteaut, Gregor Leander, María Naya-Plasencia, Léo Perrin, and Friedrich Wiemer

Abstract

In this report, we cryptanalyse the Rescue hash function. In particular, we look at linear and differential cryptanalysis of Rescue, how multiplicative subgroups are propagated by the round function and at rebound attacks. Overall, we do not find any direct threat to the security of Rescue.
