Abstract

Tillich and Zémor proposed a hashing scheme based on the group of unimodular matrices SL_2(F_q) over a finite field F_q of q = 2^n elements. Charnes and Pieprzyk studied the security of this scheme. They showed that for n = 131 and for some irreducible polynomial P_{131}(x) this scheme is weak. We show that with sufficiently high probability the polynomials P_n(x) can be chosen in such a way that this type of attack can be avoided. Futhermore, we generalize the Tillich-Zémor hashing scheme for any finite field F_q and show that the new generalized scheme has similar properties.
