Abstract
The authors propose a new type of hash
iterative structure-the ring-iterative structure with feed-
back which is subdivided into the single feedback ring it-
eration and the multiple feedback ring iteration, namely
SFRI and MFRI. Prove that SFRI is at least equivalent to
the MD structure in security, and MFRI is at least equiv-
alent to SFRI in security (property 1 makes people incline
to believe MFRI is more secure than MD). Analyze the
resistance of MFRI, which results from the joint event on
message modi¯cation, endless loop on message modi¯ca-
tion and incompatibility of the su±cient conditions, to the
multi-block di®erential collision attack. Argue the ine®ec-
tiveness of the D-way second preimage attack on MFRI.
Discuss the time and space expenses of MFRI, and point
out the advantage of MFRI over the tree-iterative struc-
ture and the zipper-iterative structure.
