Parallelization of brute force attack on MD5 hash algorithm in FPGA

Parallelization of brute force attack on MD5 hash algorithm in FPGA
Abstract:
FPGA implementation of MD5 hash algorithm is faster when compared to software implementation, but brute-force attack on MD5 still needs 2^(128) iterations theoretically. This work will explore the possibilities of improving the speed of brute-force attack on FPGA implementation of MD5 algorithm. The student will propose a design/method in FPGA to parallelize the search for a password that was hashed …more
