Fugue
Fugue is IBM's SHA-3 competition submission, a wide-pipe hash based on AES round functions that blends sponge and pipe structures.
Purpose
A SHA-3 competition candidate that exploits AES hardware acceleration and provides a provable security bound.
Mechanism
State of 6×128 bits (or larger), using AES SubBytes/ShiftRows/MixColumns plus extra column mixing, with pipelined absorbing and squeezing. The design carries a provable security bound.
Use cases
- SHA-3 competition submission
- AES-based hash
- Provable security
