RadioGatún is a cryptographic hash primitive created by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaël Peeters, and Gilles Van Assche. It was first publicly presented at the NIST Second Cryptographic Hash Workshop, held in Santa Barbara, California, on August 24–25, 2006, as part of the NIST hash function competition. The same team that developed RadioGatún went on to make considerable revisions to this cryptographic primitive, leading to the Keccak SHA-3 algorithm.[1]
RadioGatún is a family of 64 different hash functions, distinguished by a single parameter, the word width in bits (w), adjustable between 1 and 64. The only word sizes with official test vectors are the 32-bit and 64-bit variants of RadioGatún. The algorithm uses 58 words, each using w bits, to store its internal state, so the 32-bit version needs 232 bytes to store its state (since each word needs 32 bits or four bytes, and 58 multiplied by four is 232) and the 64-bit version 464 bytes (each word using eight bytes).
Although RadioGatún is a derivative of Panama, a stream cipher and hash construction from the late 1990s whose hash construction has been broken, RadioGatún does not have Panama's weaknesses when used as a hash function. As of 2022, RadioGatún is still a secure hash function;[2][3][4][5] the largest version of RadioGatún that is broken is the one with a word size of two bits. RadioGatún has a claimed security strength of 304 bits for the 32-bit version and 608 bits for the 64-bit version. The best known cryptanalysis has not broken this claim: It needs 352 bits of work for the 32-bit version and 704 bits of work for the 64-bit version.
RadioGatún can be used either as a hash function or a stream cipher; it can output an arbitrarily long stream of pseudo-random numbers; this kind of hash construction is now known as an "extendable-output function" (XOF).[6]
Claimed strength
[edit]The algorithm's designers, in the original RadioGatún paper, claimed that the first 19 × w bits (where w is the word width used) of RadioGatún's output is a cryptographically secure hash function.[7]
Since publishing the paper, the designers revised their security claim, and now claim that RadioGatún has the security of a cryptographic sponge function with a capacity of 19w.[8] This means that the 32-bit version of RadioGatún can be used to make a hash with 304 bits of security (both from collision attacks and from Preimage attacks), and the 64-bit version offers 608 bits of security.
Implementation details
[edit]The designers call RadioGatún an "ideal mangling function". RadioGatún uses a "belt" and "mill" to cryptographically process binary data, with the majority of mangling operations performed on the "mill" part of RadioGatún.[9]
Keccak removed the belt, increased the size of the mill from 19 words to 25 words, and made the mill function somewhat more complicated.[10]
The core belt function looks like this:
(A,B) = R(a,b)
for row = 0 to 2 do
for all i do
B[i, row] = b[i + 1 mod 13, row]
end for
end for {Belt function: simple rotation}
for i = 0 to 11 do
B[i + 1, i mod 3] = B[i + 1, i mod 3] ⊕ a[i + 1]
end for {Mill to belt feedforward}
A = Mill(a) {Mill function}
b = B
for i = 0 to 2 do
A[i + 13] = A[i + 13] ⊕ b[12, i]
end for {Belt to mill feedforward}
And the mill function Mill(A) looks like this:
{all indices should be taken modulo 19,
x ≫ y denotes bitwise rotation (rotate x right y bits)
x ⊕ y denotes exclusive or
x |~ y denotes performing a bitwise or between x and the bitwise negation of y}
for all i do
A[i] = a[i] ⊕ (a[i + 1]|~a[i + 2])
end for {γ: non-linearity}
for all i do
a[i] = A[7i] ≫ i(i + 1)/2
end for {π: intra-word and inter-word dispersion}
for all i do
A[i] = a[i] ⊕ a[i + 1] ⊕ a[i + 4]
end for {θ: diffusion}
A[0] = A[0] ⊕ 1 {ι: asymmetry}
The Wikibooks page on RadioGatún provides full implementation details, and Module:RadioGatun32 is an implementation of the 32-bit version of RadioGatún.
Cryptanalysis
[edit]In the paper "Two attacks on RadioGatún", Dmitry Khovratovich presents two attacks that do not break the designers' security claims, one with a complexity of 218w and another with a complexity of 223.1w.[11] Khovratovich also authored a paper, entitled "Cryptanalysis of hash functions with structures", which describes an attack with a complexity of 218w.[12]
In the paper "Analysis of the Collision Resistance of RadioGatún using Algebraic Techniques", Charles Bouillaguet and Pierre-Alain Fouque present a way of generating collisions with the 1-bit version of the algorithm using an attack that needs 224.5 operations.[13] The attack can not be extended to larger versions since "all the possible trails we knew for the 1-bit version turned out to be impossible to extend to n-bit versions." This attack is less effective than the other attacks and also does not break RadioGatún's security claim.
The most effective attack against the algorithm, one with a complexity of 211w, is given in the paper "Cryptanalysis of RadioGatun" by Thomas Fuhr and Thomas Peyrin. In the paper, they break the 2-bit (word size of two) version of RadioGatún.[14] While more effective than the other attacks, this attack still does not break the security claim.
The developers of RadioGatún have stated that their "own experiments did not inspire confidence in RadioGatún".[15]
Test vectors
[edit]The only RadioGatún variants that the designers supplied test vectors (published hash values for sample inputs so programmers can verify they are correctly implementing the algorithm) for are the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
RadioGatún[32]
[edit]These test vectors, generated using the 32-bit version of RadioGatún, only show the first 256 bits of RadioGatún[32]'s arbitrarily long output stream:
RadioGatun[32]("") = F30028B54AFAB6B3E55355D277711109A19BEDA7091067E9A492FB5ED9F20117
