Hash function security summary
Appearance
This article summarizes publicly known attacks against cryptographic hash functions. Note that not all entries may be up to date. For a summary of other hash function parameters, see comparison of cryptographic hash functions.
Table color key
No known successful attacks — attack only breaks a reduced version of the hash
Theoretical break — attack breaks all rounds and has lower complexity than security claim
Attack demonstrated in practice
