And, yes, everyone should use WHIRLPOOL v3 (the current revision). <a href="/wiki/User:Samboy" title="User:Samboy">Samboy</a> 12:18, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Great investigation, Samboy! I would like to share also my findings with you. In the document of the 1st revision the WHIRLPOOL authors, Paulo Barreto and Vincent Rijmen tell us: "We propose renaming the original algorithm Whirlpool-0 and using the term Whirlpool for the final, modified version that uses the improved S-box design." Unfortunately, they didn't make a suggestion anymore about algorithm names of previous designs in their 2nd revision doc. However, if we take the words of the 1st revision doc into account, the original algorithm should be named Whirlpool-0 rather than Whirlpool1. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Jonelo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Jonelo (page does not exist)">Jonelo</a> 5 July 2005 21:06 (UTC)</dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>An additional shameless plug disclaimer: a <a href="/wiki/Java_programming_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Java programming language">Java</a> implementation of all three revisions of Whirlpool can be found at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.jonelo.de/java/jacksum">http://www.jonelo.de/java/jacksum</a> - <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Jonelo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Jonelo (page does not exist)">Jonelo</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Whirlpool_(hash_function)#c-Jonelo-2006-05-17T04:27:00.000Z-Shameless_plug_disclaimer" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jonelo-2006-05-17T04:27:00.000Z-Shameless_plug_disclaimer"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jonelo-2006-05-17T04:27:00.000Z-Shameless_plug_disclaimer"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Definition_of_Whirlpool" data-mw-thread-id="h-Definition_of_Whirlpool"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Definition_of_Whirlpool"></span>Definition of Whirlpool<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Definition_of_Whirlpool"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Whirlpool_(hash_function)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Definition of Whirlpool"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>SHA-* got very nice looking definition in pseudo code for the functions.

It means THE MESSAGE is changed one bit, thus causing THE HASH SUM to change many bits. Say you have this message: "The d day" and change it to "The e day". That means we change only one bit in <u>the message</u>. That is the bit that causes the middle character in that message to become an "e" instead of a "d". Since d = 1100100 and e = 1100101, at least if using any of the usual character sets. But yeah, that sentence is easy to missunderstand and probably should be changed to something clearer. Perhaps with a link to <a href="/wiki/Avalanche_effect" title="Avalanche effect">avalanche effect</a>.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Besides that sentence expresses the collision risk in a hard to understand way. It is a 512 bit hash sum thus the collision risk is about 1 in 2<sup>512</sup>. That corresponds to 1 in 10<sup>154</sup>. Which can be expressed as the non-collisions are 1 - 2<sup>-512</sup> or 1 - 10<sup>-154</sup> (that is 0.99999...) but that is an awkward way to state it.

If yes, I'll add one for the DEC open source library for Delphi as well, as that one has a Whirlpool implementation as well (all three versions) and this is not the only Delphi library providing this algorithm. => my suggestion is to remove all those links only pointing to some particular implementation in some particular programming language! --<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/79.212.57.181" title="Special:Contributions/79.212.57.181">79.212.57.181</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:79.212.57.181&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:79.212.57.181 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Whirlpool_(hash_function)#c-79.212.57.181-2020-05-06T21:43:00.000Z-External_links_section_critique" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:43, 6 May 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-79.212.57.181-2020-05-06T21:43:00.000Z-External_links_section_critique"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-79.212.57.181-2020-05-06T21:43:00.000Z-External_links_section_critique"></span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Whirlpool_(hash_function)&oldid=1203765722">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Whirlpool_(hash_function)&oldid=1203765722</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Start-Class_Cryptography_articles" title="Category:Start-Class Cryptography articles">Start-Class Cryptography articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Low-importance_Cryptography_articles" title="Category:Low-importance Cryptography articles">Low-importance Cryptography articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Start-Class_Computer_science_articles" title="Category:Start-Class Computer science articles">Start-Class Computer science articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Low-importance_Computer_science_articles" title="Category:Low-importance Computer science articles">Low-importance Computer science articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Computer_science_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Computer science articles">WikiProject Computer science articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Cryptography_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Cryptography articles">WikiProject Cryptography articles</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 5 February 2024, at 14:57<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License</a>; additional terms may apply.
