Implementation of GOST R34.11-94 hash function. (From 1998. Slightly modernized for 64-bit types and C99 in 2016.)

gost-r34.11-94

Implementation of the old GOST R34.11-94 hash function.

This code is from 1998! I've only slightly modernised for 64-bit types and C99 in 2016. The algorithm was successfully cryptanalysed by Mendel et al (Crypto '08) and is no longer considered secure. The hash function has since been replaced by an entirely different algorithm "Streebog" revision GOST R 34.11-2012. I've published this for historical reasons; for example some may find the original translation Postscript from '94 interesting.

Usage:

  % make            to compile the package
  % ./gosttest      to perform some tests
  % ./gostan        to print out the linear dependency matrices
