ISO/IEC 10118-1:2000
Information technology -- Security techniques -- Hash-functions -- Part 1: General
ISO/IEC 10118 specifies hash-functions and is therefore applicable to the provision of authentication, integrity and non-repudiation services. Hash-functions map arbitrary strings of bits to a fixed-length strings of bits, using a specified algorithm. They can be used for
- reducing a message to a short imprint for input to a digital signature mechanism, and
- committing the user to a given string of bits without revealing this string.
This part of ISO/IEC 10118 contains definitions, symbols, abbreviations and requirements, that are common to all the other parts of ISO/IEC 10118.
