New Records in Collision Attacks on SHA-2

ePrint Report: New Records in Collision Attacks on SHA-2

Yingxin Li, Fukang Liu, Gaoli Wang

The SHA-2 family including SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384,
SHA-512, SHA-512/224 and SHA512/256 is a U.S. federal standard pub-
lished by NIST. Especially, there is no doubt that SHA-256 is one of the
most important hash functions used in real-world applications. Due to
its complex design compared with SHA-1, there is almost no progress
in collision attacks on SHA-2 after ASIACRYPT 2015. In this work, we
retake …
