Parametric Hash Function Resistant to Attack by Quantum Computer
Polina Sazonova, Sergey Krendelev · Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems · 2018
This paper describes an algorithm for creating hash function, resistant for quantum computer.The given approach is based on the problem of solving a system of polynomial equations in integers, where the number of equations is less than the number of unknown parameters.The developed algorithm is parameterized so the result of the hash function depends on several parameters, therefore, it will take considerably longer to select the solution of the task.The avalanche effect is about 50%, collision is impossible because the task to find a solution of the described system of equations with a degree greater than 3 is algorithmically unsolvable.This hash function was developed for blockchain to ensure its integrity, but it can also be used in any application where a hash function is needed.
