Abstract: | We prove that the fast pseudo-Hadamard transform (FPHT) over a finite field has a bounded branch number. We shall demonstrate that the transform has an efficient implementation for various platforms compared to an equal dimension MDS code. We prove that when using a CS-Cipher\cite{CSC} like construction the weight of any $2R$ trail is bounded for the case of an $8 \times 8$ transform. We show that the FPHT can also be combined with MDS codes to produce efficient transforms with half of the branch of a comparable sized MDS code. We present the FPHT-HASH one-way hash function which is constructed using a $32 \times 32$ FPHT which produces a $256$-bit digest and processes the input at 24 cycles per byte with ISO C source code on an AMD Athlon XP processor. |
