In this paper we prove a lower bound on the output length of black-box combiners for CRHFs. The bound we prove is basically tight as it is achieved by a recent construction of Canetti et al [Crypto'07]. The best previously known lower bounds only ruled out a very restricted class of combiners having a very strong security reduction: the reduction was required to output collisions for both underlying candidate hash-functions given a single collision for the combiner (Canetti et al [Crypto'07] building on Boneh and Boyen [Crypto'06] and Pietrzak [Eurocrypt'07]). Our proof uses a lemma similar to the elegant &quot;reconstruction lemma&quot; of Gennaro and Trevisan [FOCS'00], which states that any function which is not one-way is compressible (and thus uniformly random function must be one-way). In a similar vein we show that a function which is not collision resistant is compressible. We also borrow ideas from recent work by Haitner et al. [FOCS'07], who show that one can prove the reconstruction lemma even relative to some very powerful oracles (in our case this will be an exponential time collision-finding oracle). © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Krzysztof Pietrzak","last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z"}]}
