Subject: Possible non-extension property for hash functions
...
[Talking about the length-extension property.]
H(x) = H(y) == H(x||s) = H(y||s)
It seems to me that there might be a class of hash
functions
In Steve Bellovin and Eric Rescorla's paper, Deploying a New Hash Algorithm*,
the author's note the well known property of hash functions:
For two different stings x and y,
H(x) = H(y) == H(x||s) = H(y||s)
It seems to me that there might be a class of hash functions for which this
property
