Secure Trapdoor Hash Functions Based On Public-Key Cryptosystems, Gary R. Greenfield, Sarah Agnes Spence
Secure Trapdoor Hash Functions Based On Public-Key Cryptosystems, Gary R. Greenfield, Sarah Agnes Spence
Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series
In this paper we systematically consider examples representative of the various families of public-key cryptosystems to see if it would be possible to incorporate them into trapdoor hash functions, and we attempt to evaluate the resulting strengths and weaknesses of the functions we are able to construct. We are motivated by the following question:
Question 1.2 How likely is it that the discoverer of a heretofore unknown public-key cryptosystem could subvert it for use in a plausible secure trapdoor hash algorithm?
In subsequent sections, our investigations will lead to a variety of constructions and bring to light the non-adaptability of …

DQDBsim is a simulation program for the study of the performance of the Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) Metropolitan Area Network. The simulation is based on the description of DQDB found in [Ins90]. Only the Queued Arbitrated (QA) service is modeled by DQDBsim the inclusion of Prearbitrated (PA) service is under consideration for inclusion in a future release. This document contains a description of the program instructions for its use details of the formats of input and data files and information on other programs that are used cooperatively with DQDBsim.
