Amusingly, I view that paper as supporting the random oracle model, not undermining it. That paper provided evidence that it may be reasonable to model our hash functions as random oracles, as long as the hash functions are only invoked on some prefix-free message space. More precisely, if the compression function is modeled as a random oracle, then the MD scheme is also a random oracle as long as you ensure there is no pair of possible messages M,M' in the message space such that M is a prefix of M'. And good cryptosystem designers already ought to know to avoid length-extension attacks on MD hashes by ensuring that the message space is chosen to be prefix-free. I guess what I'm saying is that good cryptographic design involves both provable security (e.g., in the random oracle model) as well as application of good cryptographic hygiene, prudent engineering practices, and other heuristic rules of thumb. This combination seems to lead to pretty reasonable protocols. _______________________________________________ Cfrg mailing list Cfrg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cfrg
