Abstract

In CRYPTO 2018, Russell, Tang, Yung and Zhou (RTYZ) introduced the notion of crooked indifferentiability to analyze the security of a hash function when the underlying primitive is subverted. They showed that the n-bit to n-bit function implemented using enveloped XOR construction (EXor) with 3 n+ 1 many n-bit functions and 3 n2 -bit random initial vectors can be proven secure asymptotically in the crooked indifferentiability setting. We identify several major issues and gaps in the proof by RTYZ, We argue that their proof can achieve security only in a restricted setting. We present a new proof of crooked indifferentiability where the adversary can evaluate queries related to multiple messages. Our technique can handle function-dependent subversion.
