Diving deep into the preimage security of AES-like hashing by Chen, Shiyao, Guo, Jian, List, Eik, Shi, Danping, Zhang, Tianyu

“…Since the seminal works by Sasaki and Aoki, Meet-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks are recognized as an effective technique for preimage and collision attacks on hash functions. At Eurocrypt 2021, Bao et al. automated MITM attacks on AES-like hashing and improved upon the best manual result. …”

Automatic preimage attack framework on Ascon using a linearize-and-guess approach by Li, Huina, He, Le, Chen, Shiyao, Guo, Jian, Qiu, Weidong

“…The preimage attack framework, utilizing the linear structure with the allocating model, was initially proposed by Guo et al. at ASIACRYPT 2016 and subsequently improved by Li et al. at EUROCRYPT 2019, demonstrating high effectiveness in breaking the preimage resistance of Keccak. …”
