摘要:Cryptographic hash functions play an important role in information security. They are used in several cryptographic applications to verify the integrity and authenticity of data. The hash functions are also the basis of blockchain technology. Many hash function constructions are inspired by boolean functions. The proposed hash function algorithm in this paper is based on Elementary Cellular Automata (ECA) and 2- dimensional Cellular Automata (2DCA), which are another type of boolean functions that have excellent cryptographic properties. This algorithm has a sponge construction as such as SHA-3. The strict avalanche criterion (SAC) and NIST statistical tests suite (STS) were used to measure the security of this algorithm. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibit high sensitivity to input changes.
