Multicollision attacks and generalized iterated hash functions

We apply combinatorics on words to develop an approach to multicollisions in generalized iterated hash functions. Our work is based on the discoveries of A. Joux and on generalizations provided by M. Nandi and D. Stinson as well as J. Hoch and A. Shamir. We wish to unify the existing diverse notatio...
