Study Notes

SHA-1 Hash Function

  • SHA-1 produces a 160-bit message digest.
  • Preprocessing is needed before hash computation. The message is padded to fit a multiple of 512 bits. The initial value H₀ is set to a predefined constant.
  • The compression function processes messages in 512-bit chunks. The function consists of 80 rounds, divided into four stages of 20 rounds each.
  • Padding: The length of the message (l) is added to the padded message.
  • A message schedule computes 80 32-bit words (W₀, W₁, ..., W₇₉) from the 512-bit message block.
  • Wᵢ = { (Wᵢ₋₁₆ ⊕ Wᵢ₋₁₄ ⊕ Wᵢ₋₈ ⊕ Wᵢ₋₃) <<< 1 } for 16 ≤ j ≤ 79
  • Five working registers (A, B, C, D, E) of size 32 bits.
  • The hash value Hᵢ consists of five 32-bit words: H(0), H(1), H(2), H(3), H(4)
  • The hash value initially holds the initial value H₀.
