Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) are issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology after approval by the Secretary of Commerce pursuant to Section 111(d) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Computer Security Act of 1987, Public Law 100-235.

Name of Standard: Secure Hash Standard.

Category of Standard: Computer Security.

Explanation: This Standard specifies a Secure Hash Algorithm, SHA-1, for computing a condensed representation of a message or a data file. When a message of any length < 264 bits is input, the SHA-1 produces a 160-bit output called a message digest. The message digest can then be input to the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which generates or verifies the signature for the message. Signing the message digest rather than the message often improves the efficiency of the process because the message digest is usually much smaller in size than the message. The same hash algorithm must be used by the verifier of a digital signature as was used by the creator of the digital signature.

The SHA-1 is called secure because it is computationally infeasible to find a message which corresponds to a given message digest, or to find two different messages which produce the same message digest. Any change to a message in transit will, with very high probability, result in a different message digest, and the signature will fail to verify. SHA-1 is a technical revision of SHA (FIPS 180). A circular left shift operation has been added to the specifications in section 7, line b, page 9 of FIPS 180 and its equivalent in section 8, line c, page 10 of FIPS 180. This revision improves the security provided by this standard. The SHA-1 is based on principles similar to those used by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT when designing the MD4 message digest algorithm ("The MD4 Message Digest Algorithm," Advances in Cryptology - CRYPTO '90 Proceedings, Springer-Verlag, 1991, pp. 303-311), and is closely modelled after that algorithm.

SECURE HASH STANDARD



1. INTRODUCTION


The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) is required for use with the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) as specified in the Digital Signature Standard (DSS) and whenever a secure hash algorithm is required for federal applica- tions. For a message of length < 2^64 bits, the SHA-1 produces a 160-bit condensed representation of the message called a message digest. The message digest is used during generation of a signature for the message. The SHA-1 is also used to compute a message digest for the received version of the message during the process of verifying the signature. Any change to the message in transit will, with very high probability, result in a different message digest, and the signature will fail to verify.

The SHA-1 is designed to have the following properties: it is computationally infeasible to find a message which corresponds to a given message digest, or to find two different messages which produce the same message digest.

2. BIT STRINGS AND INTEGERS


The following terminology related to bit strings and integers will be used:
a. A hex digit is an element of the set {0, 1, ... , 9, A, ... , F}. A hex digit is the representation of a 4-bit string. Examples: 7 = 0111, A = 1010.

b. A word equals a 32-bit string which may be represented as a sequence of 8 hex digits. To convert a word to 8 hex digits each 4-bit string is converted to its hex equivalent as described in (a) above. Example:

1010 0001 0000 0011 1111 1110 0010 0011 = A103FE23.

c. An integer between 0 and 232 - 1 inclusive may be represented as a word. The least significant four bits of the integer are represented by the right-most hex digit of the word representation. Example: the integer 291 = 28+25+21+20 = 256+32+2+1 is represented by the hex word, 00000123.

If z is an integer, 0 <= z < 264, then z = 232x + y where 0 <= x < 232 and 0 <= y < 232. Since x and y can be represented as words X and Y, respectively, z can be represented as the pair of words (X,Y).

d. block = 512-bit string. A block (e.g., B) may be represented as a sequence of 16 words.

3. OPERATIONS ON WORDS


The following logical operators will be applied to words:
a. Bitwise logical word operations
 
X ^ Y         =  bitwise logical "and" of  X and Y.

X \/ Y        =  bitwise logical "inclusive-or" of X and Y.
    
X XOR Y       =  bitwise logical "exclusive-or" of X and Y.

~ X           =  bitwise logical "complement" of X.

Example:
            01101100101110011101001001111011
      XOR   01100101110000010110100110110111
            --------------------------------
        =   00001001011110001011101111001100
b. The operation X + Y is defined as follows: words X and Y represent integers x and y, where 0 <= x < 232 and 0 <= y < 232. For positive integers n and m, let n mod m be the remainder upon dividing n by m. Compute
z = (x + y) mod 232.

Then 0 <= z < 232. Convert z to a word, Z, and define Z = X + Y.

c. The circular left shift operation Sn(X), where X is a word and n is an integer with 0 <= n 32, is defined by
Sn(X) = (X << n) OR (X >> 32-n).

In the above, X << n is obtained as follows: discard the left-most n bits of X and then pad the result with n zeroes on the right (the result will still be 32 bits). X >> n is obtained by discarding the right-most n bits of X and then padding the result with n zeroes on the left. Thus Sn(X) is equivalent to a circular shift of X by n positions to the left.

4. MESSAGE PADDING


The SHA-1 is used to compute a message digest for a message or data file that is provided as input. The message or data file should be considered to be a bit string. The length of the message is the number of bits in the message (the empty message has length 0). If the number of bits in a message is a multiple of 8, for compactness we can represent the message in hex. The purpose of message padding is to make the total length of a padded message a multiple of 512. The SHA-1 sequentially processes blocks of 512 bits when computing the message digest. The following specifies how this padding shall be performed. As a summary, a "1" followed by m "0"s followed by a 64-bit integer are appended to the end of the message to produce a padded message of length 512 * n. The 64-bit integer is l, the length of the original message. The padded message is then processed by the SHA-1 as n 512-bit blocks.

Suppose a message has length l < 264. Before it is input to the SHA-1, the message is padded on the right as follows:
a. "1" is appended. Example: if the original message is "01010000", this is padded to "010100001".

b. "0"s are appended. The number of "0"s will depend on the original length of the message. The last 64 bits of the last 512-bit block are reserved for the length l of the original message.
Example: Suppose the original message is the bit string
01100001 01100010 01100011 01100100 01100101.

After step (a) this gives
01100001 01100010 01100011 01100100 01100101 1.


Since l = 40, the number of bits in the above is 41 and 407 "0"s are appended, making the total now 448. This gives (in hex)
61626364 65800000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000.

c. Obtain the 2-word representation of l, the number of bits in the original message. If l < 232 then the first word is all zeroes. Append these two words to the padded message.
Example: Suppose the original message is as in (b). Then l = 40 (note that l is computed before any padding). The two-word representation of 40 is hex 00000000 00000028. Hence the final padded message is hex
61626364 65800000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000028.

The padded message will contain 16 * n words for some n > 0. The padded message is regarded as a sequence of n blocks M1 , M2, ... , Mn, where each Mi contains 16 words and M1 contains the first characters (or bits) of the message.

5. FUNCTIONS USED


A sequence of logical functions f0, f1,..., f79 is used in the SHA-1. Each ft, 0 <= t <= 79, operates on three 32-bit words B, C, D and produces a 32-bit word as output. ft(B,C,D) is defined as follows: for words B, C, D,
ft(B,C,D) = (B AND C) OR ((NOT B) AND D) ( 0 <= t <= 19)

ft(B,C,D) = B XOR C XOR D (20 <= t <= 39)

ft(B,C,D) = (B AND C) OR (B AND D) OR (C AND D) (40 <= t <= 59)

ft(B,C,D) = B XOR C XOR D (60 <= t <= 79).

6. CONSTANTS USED


A sequence of constant words K(0), K(1), ... , K(79) is used in the SHA-1. In hex these are given by
K = 5A827999 ( 0 <= t <= 19)

Kt = 6ED9EBA1 (20 <= t <= 39)

Kt = 8F1BBCDC (40 <= t <= 59)

Kt = CA62C1D6 (60 <= t <= 79).

7. COMPUTING THE MESSAGE DIGEST


The message digest is computed using the final padded message. The computation uses two buffers, each consisting of five 32-bit words, and a sequence of eighty 32-bit words. The words of the first 5-word buffer are labeled A,B,C,D,E. The words of the second 5-word buffer are labeled H0, H1, H2, H3, H4. The words of the 80-word sequence are labeled W0, W1,..., W79. A single word buffer TEMP is also employed.

To generate the message digest, the 16-word blocks M1, M2,..., Mn defined in Section 4 are processed in order. The processing of each Mi involves 80 steps.

Before processing any blocks, the {Hi} are initialized as follows: in hex,
H0 = 67452301

H1 = EFCDAB89

H2 = 98BADCFE

H3 = 10325476

H4 = C3D2E1F0.

Now M1, M2, ... , Mn are processed. To process Mi, we proceed as follows:
a. Divide Mi into 16 words W0, W1, ... , W15, where W0 is the left-most word.

b. For t = 16 to 79 let Wt = S1(Wt-3 XOR Wt-8 XOR Wt- 14 XOR Wt-16).

c. Let A = H0, B = H1, C = H2, D = H3, E = H4.

d. For t = 0 to 79 do
TEMP = S5(A) + ft(B,C,D) + E + Wt + Kt;

E = D; D = C; C = S30(B); B = A; A = TEMP;

e. Let H0 = H0 + A, H1 = H1 + B, H2 = H2 + C, H3 = H3 + D, H4 = H4 + E.

After processing Mn, the message digest is the 160-bit string represented by the 5 words
H0 H1 H2 H3 H4.

8. ALTERNATE METHOD OF COMPUTATION


The above assumes that the sequence W0, ... , W79 is implemented as an array of eighty 32-bit words. This is efficient from the standpoint of minimization of execution time, since the addresses of Wt-3, ... ,Wt-16 in step (b) are easily computed. If space is at a premium, an alternative is to regard { Wt } as a circular queue, which may be implemented using an array of sixteen 32-bit words W[0], ... W[15]. In this case, in hex let MASK = 0000000F. Then processing of Mi is as follows:
a. Divide Mi into 16 words W[0], ... , W[15], where W[0] is the left-most word.

b. Let A = H0, B = H1, C = H2, D = H3, E = H4.

c. For t = 0 to 79 do
s = t ^ MASK;

if (t >= 16) W[s] = S1(W[(s + 13) ^ MASK] XOR W[(s + 8) AND MASK] XOR W[(s + 2) ^ MASK] XOR W[s]);

TEMP = S5(A) + ft(B,C,D) + E + W[s] + Kt;

E = D; D = C; C = S30(B); B = A; A = TEMP;

d. Let H0 = H0 + A, H1 = H1 + B, H2 = H2 + C, H3 = H3 + D, H4 = H4 + E.

9. COMPARISON OF METHODS


The methods of Sections 7 and 8 yield the same message digest. Although using the method of Section 8 saves sixty-four 32-bit words of storage, it is likely to lengthen execution time due to the increased complexity of the address computations for the { W[t] } in step (c). Other computation methods which give identical results may be implemented in conformance with the standard.

APPENDIX A. A SAMPLE MESSAGE AND ITS MESSAGE DIGEST


This appendix is for informational purposes only and is not required to meet the standard.

Let the message be the ASCII binary-coded form of "abc", i.e.,
01100001 01100010 01100011.

This message has length l = 24. In step (a) of Section 4, we append "1". In step (b) we append 423 "0"s. In step (c) we append hex 00000000 00000018, the 2-word representation of 24. Thus the final padded message consists of one block, so that n = 1 in the notation of Section 4.

The initial hex values of {Hi} are

H0 = 67452301
H1 = EFCDAB89
H2 = 98BADCFE
H3 = 10325476
H4 = C3D2E1F0.

Start processing block 1. The words of block 1 are

W[0] = 61626380
W[1] = 00000000
W[2] = 00000000
W[3] = 00000000
W[4] = 00000000
W[5] = 00000000
W[6] = 00000000
W[7] = 00000000
W[8] = 00000000
W[9] = 00000000
W[10] = 00000000
W[11] = 00000000
W[12] = 00000000
W[13] = 00000000
W[14] = 00000000
W[15] = 00000018.

The hex values of A,B,C,D,E after pass t of the "for t = 0 to 79" loop (step (d) of Section 7 or step (c) of Section 8) are

APPENDIX B. A SECOND SAMPLE MESSAGE AND ITS MESSAGE DIGEST


This appendix is for informational purposes only and is not required to meet the standard.

Let the message be the binary-coded form (cf. Appendix A) of the ASCII string
"abcdbcdecdefdefgefghfghighijhijkijkljklmklmnlmnomnopnopq".

Since each of the 56 characters is converted to 8 bits, the length of the message is l = 448. In step (a) of Section 4, we append "1". In step (b) we append 511 "0"s. In step (c) we append the 2-word representation of 448, i.e., hex 00000000 000001C0. This gives n = 2.

The initial hex values of {Hi} are

H0 = 67452301
H1 = EFCDAB89
H2 = 98BADCFE
H3 = 10325476
H4 = C3D2E1F0.

Abstract
This standard specifies a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) which can be used to generate a condensed representation of a message called a message digest. The SHA-1 is required for use with the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) as specified in the Digital Signature Standard (DSS) and whenever a secure hash algorithm is required for Federal applications. The SHA-1 is used by both the transmitter and intended receiver of a message in computing and verifying a digital signature.

Key words: computer security; digital signatures; Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS); hash algorithm.
