Functional Graphs and Their Applications in Generic Attacks on Iterated Hash Constructions

We provide a survey about generic attacks on cryptographic hash constructions including hash-based message authentication codes and hash combiners. We look into attacks involving iteratively evaluating identical mappings many times. The functional graph of a random mapping also involves iteratively...
