Cryptanalysis of MD5 Compress (1996) [8 citations — 0 self]

Abstract:

In this short note we report about an attack on the compress function of MD5, which is based on similar methods as previous attacks on RIPEMD, MD4 and the 256-bit extension of MD4. Below we give a collision of the compress function of MD5. Use the initial value IV = 0x12AC2375 0x3B341042 0x5F62B97C 0x4BA763ED; and define the first input X by setting: X0 = 0xAA1DDA5E X1 = 0xD97ABFF5 X2 = 0x55F0E1C1 X3 = 0x32774244 X4 = 0x1006363E X5 = 0x7218209D X6 = 0xE01C135D X7 = 0x9DA64D0E X8 = 0x98A1FB19 X9 = 0x1FAE44B0 X10 = 0x236BB992 X11 = 0x6B7A669B X12 = 0x1326ED65 X13 = 0xD93E0972 X14 = 0xD458C868 X15 = 0x6B72746A. The second input Y is defined by setting Y = X except Y14 = X14 + 0x200. Then we have a collision, i.e. MD5-compress(IV, X) = MD5-compress(IV, Y); and this common compress value is 0xBF90E670 0x752AF92B 0x9CE4E3E1 0xB12CF8DE.
