Abstract:
The parallel algorithm and its implementation for performing a single-block collision attack on MD5 are described. The algorithm is implemented as MPI program based upon the source code of Dr Marc Stevens' collision search sequential program. In this paper we present the parallel single-block MD5 collision searching algorithm itself and details of its implementation together with optimizations. We believe that this algorithm can be further used to derive a program parallelizing method, and for implementing an efficient parallel implementation for an arbitrary collision search program that is based on Wang et al's differential method. We also disclose a pair of new single-block messages colliding under MD5 that were found using our algorithm on the high-performance computing cluster. (In Russian).
