TLDR
A new technique for generating a message authentication code (MAC) using a simple metaphor to (noncryptographically) hash a string x, cast each of its words into a small number of buckets, and collect up all the buckets' contents.
Abstract
We introduce a new technique for generating a message authentication code (MAC). At its center is a simple metaphor: to (noncryptographically) hash a string x, cast each of its words into a small number of buckets; xor the contents of each bucket; then collect up all the buckets' contents. Used in the context of Wegman-Carter authentication, this style of hash function provides the fastest known approach to software message authentication.

System and method for consolidating and sorting event data

TL;DR: In this article, a system for consolidating and sorting event data include a computing platform communicatively coupled to a computer readable medium and a network, where at least one node is mapped into a tree.

Cryptographic primitives for information authentication - state of the art

TL;DR: The state of the art for cryptographic primitives that are used for protecting the authenticity of information are described: cryptographic hash functions and digital signature schemes; the first class can be divided into Manipulation Detection Codes (MDCs) and Message Authentication Codes (or MACs).

On the Round Security of Symmetric-Key Cryptographic Primitives

TL;DR: A new model is put forward for understanding the security of symmetric-key primitives, such as block ciphers, that captures the fact that many such primitives often consist of iterating simpler constructs for a number of rounds, and may provide insight into theSecurity of such designs.

System and method for selectively authenticating data

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-speed, low-strength authentication mechanism is proposed based on a partial message authentication code, which is applied only to some portion of the message, and significant time can be saved while maintaining acceptable security.

Universal Hashing and Multiple Authentication

TL;DR: This paper compares several recent universal-hashing based constructions for authentication codes and generalizes the theory of universal hashing in order to accommodate the situation where one would like to authenticate a sequence of messages with the same key.

The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm

TL;DR: This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm, which takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.

A digital signature scheme secure against adaptive chosen-message attacks

TL;DR: A digital signature scheme based on the computational difficulty of integer factorization possesses the novel property of being robust against an adaptive chosen-message attack: an adversary who receives signatures for messages of his choice cannot later forge the signature of even a single additional message.
