CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-10118-2-96

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10118-2:1994. 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 1011 8 specifies hash-functions which make use of an n-bit block cipher algorithm. They are therefore suitable for an environment in which such an algorithm is already implemented. Two types of hash-functions are specified. The first provides hash-codes of length smaller than or equal to n, where n is the block-length of the algorithm used. The second provides hash-codes of length less than or equal to 2n.
