Hashing Algorithms

Question 1

provides for data integrity, takes a variable length input and generates a fixed length output.

Answer 1

hashing

Question 2

2 different (inputs) messages and get same output, called birthday attack.

Answer 2

collision

Question 3

type of MAC calculated by using specific algorithm involving hash function combined w/secret key (symmetric key), as with any MAC can verify authenticity and integrity of message.

Answer 3

HMAC

Question 4

FORK-256-bit / GOST-256-bit (Russian) / TIGER-192-bit / RIPEMD-160-bit / SHA256-256-bit

Answer 4

Hashing Algorithms
