Abstract

As a result of the increasing demand for lightweight applications, the researchers set out to implement appropriate security mechanisms, one of which is lightweight cryptographic hash functions. Light hash functions are a common topic in cryptography, and its strength depends primarily on cryptographic analysis of hash functions. Therefore, it always requires an improvement in the designs of light hash functions in addition to paying attention to their performance in terms of implementing software and hardware. In this paper, we propose a lightweight hash functions scheme that consolidates the method of the ChaCha20 data encryption with chaotic maps to keys generation. It has made the existing ChaCha20 encryption method stronger when chaos-based random number generation method has been utilized. Based on these random numbers, the ChaCha20 would generate keys with high randomness and perform cryptographic operations. The analysis results show that improving the ChaCha20 algorithm by chaotic maps generated keys with high randomness and lightweight hash functions efficiency and thus increased security.
