Hash functions using chaotic iterations (1702.02489v1)

Abstract: In this paper, a novel formulation of discrete chaotic iterations in the field of dynamical systems is given. Their topological properties are studied: it is mathematically proved that, under some conditions, these iterations have a chaotic behavior in the meaning of Devaney. This chaotic behavior allows us to propose a way to generate new hash functions. An illustration example is detailed in order to show how to use our theoretical study in practice.
