Asymptotic Analysis of Plausible Tree Hash Modes for SHA-3
Kevin Atighehchi, Alexis Bonnecaze
Discussions about the choice of a tree hash mode of operation for a standardization have recently been undertaken. It appears that a single tree mode cannot address adequately all…

Note on Optimal Trees for Parallel Hash Functions
Kevin Atighehchi
A recent work shows how we can optimize a tree based mode of operation for a rate 1 hash function. In particular, an algorithm and a theorem are presented for selecting a good tree…
