LSH (hash function)

LSH is a cryptographic hash function designed in 2014 by South Korea to provide integrity in general-purpose software environments such as PCs and smart devices.^[1] LSH is one of the cryptographic algorithms approved by the Korean Cryptographic Module Validation Program (KCMVP). And it is the national standard of South Korea (KS X 3262).

Specification

The overall structure of the hash function LSH is shown in the following figure.

Overall structure of LSH

The hash function LSH has the wide-pipe Merkle-Damgård structure with one-zeros padding. The message hashing process of LSH consists of the following three stages.

Initialization:
- One-zeros padding of a given bit string message.
- Conversion to 32-word array message blocks from the padded bit string message.
- Initialization of a chaining variable with the initialization vector.
Compression:
- Updating of chaining variables by iteration of a compression function with message blocks.
Finalization:
- Generation of an $n$ -bit hash value from the final chaining variable.

Initialization

Let $m$ be a given bit string message. The given $m$ is padded by one-zeros, i.e., the bit ‘1’ is appended to the end of $m$ , and the bit ‘0’s are appended until a bit length of a padded message is $32wt$ , where $t=\lceil (|m|+1)/32w\rceil$ and $\lceil x\rceil$ is the smallest integer not less than $x$ .

Let $m_{p}=m_{0}\|m_{1}\|\ldots \|m_{(32wt-1)}$ be the one-zeros-padded $32wt$ -bit string of $m$ . Then $m_{p}$ is considered as a $4wt$ -byte array $m_{a}=(m[0],\ldots ,m[4wt-1])$ , where $m[k]=m_{8k}\|m_{(8k+1)}\|\ldots \|m_{(8k+7)}$ for all $0\leq k\leq (4wt-1)$ . The $4wt$ -byte array $m_{a}$ converts into a $32t$ -word array ${\textsf {M}}=(M[0],\ldots ,M[32t-1])$ as follows.

$M[s]\leftarrow m[ws/8+(w/8-1)]\|\ldots \|m[ws/8+1]\|m[ws/8]$ $(0\leq s\leq (32t-1))$

From the word array ${\textsf {M}}$ , we define the $t$ 32-word array message blocks $\{{\textsf {M}}^{(i)}\}_{i=0}^{t-1}$ as follows.

${\textsf {M}}^{(i)}\leftarrow (M[32i],M[32i+1],\ldots ,M[32i+31])$ $(0\leq i\leq (t-1))$

The 16-word array chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(0)}$ is initialized to the initialization vector ${\textsf {IV}}$ .

${\textsf {CV}}^{(0)}[l]\leftarrow {\textsf {IV}}[l]$ $(0\leq l\leq 15)$

The initialization vector ${\textsf {IV}}$ is as follows. In the following tables, all values are expressed in hexadecimal form.

Compression

In this stage, the $t$ 32-word array message blocks $\{{\textsf {M}}^{(i)}\}_{i=0}^{t-1}$ , which are generated from a message $m$ in the initialization stage, are compressed by iteration of compression functions. The compression function ${\textrm {CF}}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\times {\mathcal {W}}^{32}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ has two inputs; the $i$ -th 16-word chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i)}$ and the $i$ -th 32-word message block ${\textsf {M}}^{(i)}$ . And it returns the $(i+1)$ -th 16-word chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i+1)}$ . Here and subsequently, ${\mathcal {W}}^{t}$ denotes the set of all $t$ -word arrays for $t\geq 1$ .

The following four functions are used in a compression function:

Message expansion function ${\textrm {MsgExp}}:{\mathcal {W}}^{32}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16(Ns+1)}$
Message addition function ${\textrm {MsgAdd}}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\times {\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$
Mix function ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$
Word-permutation function ${\textrm {WordPerm}}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$

The overall structure of the compression function is shown in the following figure.

Compression function of LSH

In a compression function, the message expansion function ${\textrm {MsgExp}}$ generates $(N_{s}+1)$ 16-word array sub-messages $\{{\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}\}_{j=0}^{N_{s}}$ from given ${\textsf {M}}^{(i)}$ . Let ${\textsf {T}}=(T[0],\ldots ,T[15])$ be a temporary 16-word array set to the $i$ -th chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i)}$ . The $j$ -th step function ${\textrm {Step}}_{j}$ having two inputs ${\textsf {T}}$ and ${\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}$ updates ${\textsf {T}}$ , i.e., ${\textsf {T}}\leftarrow {\textrm {Step}}_{j}\left({\textsf {T}},{\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}\right)$ . All step functions are proceeded in order $j=0,\ldots ,N_{s}-1$ . Then one more ${\textrm {MsgAdd}}$ operation by ${\textsf {M}}_{N_{s}}^{(i)}$ is proceeded, and the $(i+1)$ -th chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i+1)}$ is set to ${\textsf {T}}$ . The process of a compression function in detail is as follows.

function Compression function ${\textrm {CF}}$ input: The $i$ -th chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i)}\in {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ and the $i$ -th message block ${\textsf {M}}^{(i)}\in {\mathcal {W}}^{32}$ output: The $(i+1)$ -th chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i+1)}\in {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ procedure $\qquad$ $\{{\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}\}_{j=0}^{N_{s}}\leftarrow {\textrm {MsgExp}}\left({\textsf {M}}^{(i)}\right)$ $\qquad$ ${\textsf {T}}\leftarrow {\textsf {CV}}^{(i)}$ $\qquad$ for $j=0$ to $(N_{s}-1)$ do $\qquad$ $\qquad$ ${\textsf {T}}\leftarrow {\textrm {Step}}_{j}\left({\textsf {T}},{\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}\right)$ $\qquad$ end for $\qquad$ ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i+1)}\leftarrow {\textrm {MsgAdd}}\left({\textsf {T}},{\textsf {M}}_{N_{s}}^{(i)}\right)$ $\qquad$ return ${\textsf {CV}}^{(i+1)}$

Here the $j$ -th step function ${\textrm {Step}}_{j}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\times {\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ is as follows.

${\textrm {Step}}_{j}:={\textrm {WordPerm}}\circ {\textrm {Mix}}_{j}\circ {\textrm {MsgAdd}}$ $(0\leq j\leq (N_{s}-1))$

The following figure shows the $j$ -th step function ${\textrm {Step}}_{j}$ of a compression function.

Message Expansion Function MsgExp

Let ${\textsf {M}}^{(i)}=(M^{(i)}[0],\ldots ,M^{(i)}[31])$ be the $i$ -th 32-word array message block. The message expansion function ${\textrm {MsgExp}}$ generates $(N_{s}+1)$ 16-word array sub-messages $\{{\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}\}_{j=0}^{N_{s}}$ from a message block ${\textsf {M}}^{(i)}$ . The first two sub-messages ${\textsf {M}}_{0}^{(i)}=(M_{0}^{(i)}[0],\ldots ,M_{0}^{(i)}[15])$ and ${\textsf {M}}_{1}^{(i)}=(M_{1}^{(i)}[0],\ldots ,M_{1}^{(i)}[15])$ are defined as follows.

${\textsf {M}}_{0}^{(i)}\leftarrow (M^{(i)}[0],M^{(i)}[1],\ldots ,M^{(i)}[15])$
${\textsf {M}}_{1}^{(i)}\leftarrow (M^{(i)}[16],M^{(i)}[17],\ldots ,M^{(i)}[31])$

The next sub-messages $\{{\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}=(M_{j}^{(i)}[0],\ldots ,M_{j}^{(i)}[15])\}_{j=2}^{N_{s}}$ are generated as follows.

${\textsf {M}}_{j}^{(i)}[l]\leftarrow {\textsf {M}}_{j-1}^{(i)}[l]\boxplus {\textsf {M}}_{j-2}^{(i)}[\tau (l)]$ $(0\leq l\leq 15,\ 2\leq j\leq N_{s})$

Here $\tau$ is the permutation over $\mathbb {Z} _{16}$ defined as follows.

Message Addition Function MsgAdd

For two 16-word arrays ${\textsf {X}}=(X[0],\ldots ,X[15])$ and ${\textsf {Y}}=(Y[0],\ldots ,Y[15])$ , the message addition function ${\textrm {MsgAdd}}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\times {\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ is defined as follows.

${\textrm {MsgAdd}}({\textsf {X}},{\textsf {Y}}):=(X[0]\oplus Y[0],\ldots ,X[15]\oplus Y[15])$

Mix Function Mix

The $j$ -th mix function ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ updates the 16-word array ${\textsf {T}}=(T[0],\ldots ,T[15])$ by mixing every two-word pair; $T[l]$ and $T[l+8]$ for $(0\leq l<8)$ . For $0\leq j<N_{s}$ , the mix function ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j}$ proceeds as follows.

$(T[l],T[l+8])\leftarrow {\textrm {Mix}}_{j,l}(T[l],T[l+8])$ $(0\leq l<8)$

Here ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j,l}$ is a two-word mix function. Let $X$ and $Y$ be words. The two-word mix function ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j,l}:{\mathcal {W}}^{2}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{2}$ is defined as follows.

function Two-word mix function ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j,l}$ input: Words $X$ and $Y$ output: Words $X$ and $Y$ procedure $\qquad$ $X\leftarrow X\boxplus Y$ ; $\qquad X\leftarrow X^{\lll \alpha _{j}}$ ; $\qquad$ $X\leftarrow X\oplus SC_{j}[l]$ ; $\qquad$ $Y\leftarrow X\boxplus Y$ ; $\qquad Y\leftarrow Y^{\lll \beta _{j}}$ ; $\qquad$ $X\leftarrow X\boxplus Y$ ; $\qquad Y\leftarrow Y^{\lll \gamma _{l}}$ ; $\qquad$ return $X$ , $Y$ ;

The two-word mix function ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j,l}$ is shown in the following figure.

The $j$ -th 8-word array constant ${\textsf {SC}}_{j}=(SC_{j}[0],\ldots ,SC_{j}[7])$ used in ${\textrm {Mix}}_{j,l}$ for $0\leq l<8$ is defined as follows. The initial 8-word array constant ${\textsf {SC}}_{0}=(SC_{0}[0],\ldots ,SC_{0}[7])$ is defined in the following table. For $1\leq j<N_{s}$ , the $j$ -th constant ${\textsf {SC}}_{j}=(SC_{j}[0],\ldots ,SC_{j}[7])$ is generated by $SC_{j}[l]\leftarrow SC_{j-1}[l]\boxplus SC_{j-1}[l]^{\lll 8}$ for $0\leq l<8$ .

Word-Permutation Function WordPerm

Let ${\textsf {X}}=(X[0],\ldots ,X[15])$ be a 16-word array. The word-permutation function ${\textrm {WordPerm}}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow {\mathcal {W}}^{16}$ is defined as follows.

${\textrm {WordPerm}}({\textsf {X}})=(X[\sigma (0)],\ldots ,X[\sigma (15)])$

Here $\sigma$ is the permutation over $\mathbb {Z} _{16}$ defined by the following table.

$\sigma (l)$	6	4	5	7	12	15	14	13	2	0	1	3	8	11	10	9

Finalization

The finalization function ${\textrm {FIN}}_{n}:{\mathcal {W}}^{16}\rightarrow \{0,1\}^{n}$ returns $n$ -bit hash value $h$ from the final chaining variable ${\textsf {CV}}^{(t)}=(CV^{(t)}[0],\ldots ,CV^{(t)}[15])$ . When ${\textsf {H}}=(H[0],\ldots ,H[7])$ is an 8-word variable and ${\textsf {h}}_{\textsf {b}}=(h_{b}[0],\ldots ,h_{b}[w-1])$ is a $w$ -byte variable, the finalization function ${\textrm {FIN}}_{n}$ performs the following procedure.

$H[l]\leftarrow CV^{(t)}[l]\oplus CV^{(t)}[l+8]$ $(0\leq l\leq 7)$
$h_{b}[s]\leftarrow H[\lfloor 8s/w\rfloor ]_{[7:0]}^{\ggg (8s\mod w)}$ $(0\leq s\leq (w-1))$
$h\leftarrow (h_{b}[0]\|\ldots \|h_{b}[w-1])_{[0:n-1]}$

Here, $X_{[i:j]}$ denotes $x_{i}\|x_{i-1}\|\ldots \|x_{j}$ , the sub-bit string of a word $X$ for $i\geq j$ . And $x_{[i:j]}$ denotes $x_{i}\|x_{i+1}\|\ldots \|x_{j}$ , the sub-bit string of a $l$ -bit string $x=x_{0}\|x_{1}\|\ldots \|x_{l-1}$ for $i\leq j$ .

Security

LSH is secure against known attacks on hash functions up to now. LSH is collision-resistant for $q<2^{n/2}$ and preimage-resistant and second-preimage-resistant for $q<2^{n}$ in the ideal cipher model, where $q$ is a number of queries for LSH structure.^[1] LSH-256 is secure against all the existing hash function attacks when the number of steps is 13 or more, while LSH-512 is secure if the number of steps is 14 or more. Note that the steps which work as security margin are 50% of the compression function.^[1]
