Oct 26, 2025 at 21:56 comment added Paul Uszak @user1641237 Hmm, struggling to see how XOR and LFSR injection is a permutation.
Oct 25, 2025 at 17:09 comment added user1641237 @PaulUszak While Keccak the hash function isn't a permutation, the building block Keccak-f[1600] is one. Keccak then instantiates the sponge constructiong using Keccak-f[1600] as the "stirring the entropy pool" permutation.
Oct 25, 2025 at 15:14 comment added Paul Uszak In what world is Keccak a permutation? Or sponges in general? See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation . It's contorting the language, like saying AES is a permutation which is clearly isn't.
Oct 25, 2025 at 2:37 comment added DannyNiu @user1641237 It appears that for certain input, some part of the output can be predicted without knowing the full input, or have certain pattern. See inria.hal.science/hal-03045986/document#page=10
Oct 24, 2025 at 20:27 comment added user1641237 For sponges in particular, distinguishing the rate part from random certainly works. However, there seems to be general claims like "this paper broke N rounds of Gimli" that are independent from the sponge construction. I looked at these papers but they don't seem to be using some common definition for what is "broken"...
