CIS 3362 Homework #7
Message Authentication Codes, Hash Functions
Due: Monday, 11/25/2009
Note: This is a group assignment. Each pair of students should turn in one write-up
in class on the due date. Both students' names should clearly be at the top of the
front page of the assignment. Students may also turn in the assignment by
themselves if they do not wish to have a partner.
A hash function has been written for you to use in both Java and C. Your job will be to
find as many input strings as you can that match your given hash value. If you work in
pair, you must find as many strings that you can that match either of your given hash
values. Pairs will be expected to find twice as many matches as people working by
themselves. Not only do you have to turn in your matches, but you also have to turn
in any code you write (electronically, over web courses) and a write-up explaining
your strategy.
The hash function values for everyone to match are listed on the next page.
