Just a quick note of clarification, there is a collision in the name Ian G. 4 letters does not a message digest make. Gaim-otr as I understand it is authored by Nikita Borisov and Ian Goldberg <otr(a)cypherpunks.ca>. It can be acquired here: http://www.xelerance.com/mirror/otr/ and here are some other links: http://www.emergentchaos.com/archives/000715.html Just to confuse the issue I also am working on a private instant messaging service which is markedly different, in that I am taking a payment system and reworking it into an IM system: http://www.financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/000379.html But I haven't got around to a download yet. And it's not AIM compatible, as it works through its host payment system. > Ian - would you care to share some insights on this? Is it ready for > prime time or just a proof-of-concept?

MD5 collision method published
by Anonymous 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

At last, the secret of how to make MD5 collisions is out! See http://cryptography.hyperlink.cz/MD5_collisions.html. This includes the Wang report, probably the one which will be presented at Eurocrypt: http://www.infosec.sdu.edu.cn/paper/md5-attack.pdf. As a bonus, it includes an independent reconstruction of the attack by Vlastimil Klima, http://cryptography.hyperlink.cz/md5/MD5_collisions.pdf. The attack has two parts: finding a first block which almost collides, then finding a second block which eliminates the differences left after the first block. Klima claims that his method is much faster for the first part, taking only 2 minutes compared to an hour for the Wang method. However he was not able to match the Wang performance for the second part; his method is 80 times slower for that. He predicts: "It may be expected that after publishing the Chinese method the overall time for finding a complete collision can fall down to as less as 2 minutes on a PC notebook." Well, now Wang has published her method, linked there on Klima's web site, and so it should be possible in principle to put them both together. No source code is published, but we can create it from the papers. I guess I know what I'll be hacking on this weekend!
