Abstract
We present a binary tree based parallel algorithm for extending the domain of a universal one-way hash function (UOWHF). For t
2, our algorithm extends the domain from the set of all n-bit strings to the set of all ((2t-1)(n-m)+m)-bit strings, where m is the length of the message digest. The associated increase in key length is 2m bits for t=2; m(t+1) bits for 3
t
6 and m×(t+
log2(t-1)
) bits for t
7.
