You can turn AES into a hash function by applying, e.g., Luby-Rackoff plus Miyaguchi-Preneel. Using this hash function to derive keys is then identical to using AES to derive keys. Or you can use Whirlpool, a more efficient AES-style hash function. Using Whirlpool to derive keys isn't exactly the same as applying AES, but it's based on the same design principles. In other words, there's no justification for the religious notion that ``encryption functions'' are safe while ``hash functions'' are to be avoided. Sure, MD5 is a disaster, but 4-round AES is a disaster for the same reasons. If you want to know whether a primitive is safe, you have to look at the details of the primitive; the high-level packaging is almost irrelevant. ---D. J.
