This chapter discusses cryptographic mechanisms for providing data integrity. We begin by identifying different levels of data integrity that can be provided. We then look in detail at hash functions, explaining the different security properties that they have, as well as presenting several different applications of a hash function. We then look at hash function design and illustrate this by discussing the hash function SHA-3. Next, we discuss message authentication codes (MACs), presenting a basic model and discussing basic properties. We compare two different MAC constructions, CBC-MAC and HMAC. Finally, we consider different ways of using MACs together with encryption. We focus on authenticated encryption modes, and illustrate these by describing Galois Counter mode.

H.264/AVC is a widespread standard for high definition video (HD) for example DVD and HD videos on the internet. To prevent unauthorized modifications, video authentication can be used. In this paper, we present a cryptanalysis of a H.264/AVC video authentication scheme proposed by Saadi et al. [1] at EUSIPCO 2009. Our result will prevent situations where newer schemes are developed from the scheme thus amplifying the flaw. The designers claimed that the scheme can detect modifications on watermarked video. However, we show that an attacker can modify the watermarked video and compute a valid watermark such that the recipient will retrieve a watermark from the modified watermarked video that will match what the recipient computes during video authentication check. Thus, the recipient will think the tampered video is authentic. The first main problem of the scheme is its use of hash functions for watermark generation. Since hash functions are public functions not depending on any secret, the attacker can modify the watermarked video and feed this through the hash function to compute a new watermark. The second problem is that it is possible for the attacker to perform watermark embedding thus producing a modified watermarked video. On receiving the modified video, the recipient recomputes the watermark and compares this with the watermark extracted from the video. They will match because the embedded watermark and recomputed watermark use the same hash function based watermark generation and the same input i.e. the modified video. Our cryptanalysis strategy applies to any watermarking based video authentication scheme where the watermark and embedding are not functions of secrets. As countermeasure, the functions should be designed so that only legitimate parties can perform them. We present two improved schemes that solve this problem based on private key signing functions and message authentication functions respectively.

Cryptographic Hash Functions are used to achieve a number of Security goals like Message Authentication, Message Integrity, and are also used to implement Digital Signatures (Non-repudiation), and Entity Authentication. This chapter discusses the construction of hash functions and the various attacks on the Hash functions. The Message Authentication Codes are similar to the Hash functions except that they require a key for producing the message digest or hash. Authenticated Encryption is a scheme that combines hashing and Encryption. The Various types of hash functions like one-way hash function, Collision Resistant hash function and Universal hash functions are also discussed in this chapter.

The hash function is the most important cryptographic primitive function and is an integral part of the blockchain data structure. Hashes are often used in cryptographic protocols, information security applications such as Digital Signatures and message authentication codes (MACs). In the current development of certificate data security, there are 2 (two) types of hashes that are widely applied, namely, MD and SHA. However, when it comes to efficiency, in this study the hash type SHA-256 is used because it can be calculated faster with a better level of security. In the hypothesis, the Merkle-Damgård construction method is also proposed to support data integrity verification. Moreover, a cryptographic hash function is a one-way function that converts input data of arbitrary length and produces output of a fixed length so that it can be used to securely authenticate users without storing passwords locally. Since basically, cryptographic hash functions have many different uses in various situations, this research resulted in the use of hash algorithms in verifying the integrity and authenticity of certificate information.

Digital image authentication is an essential attribute for protecting digital image from piracy and copyright violator. Anti-piracy, digital watermarking, and ownership verification are some mechanisms evolving over the years for achieving digital image authentication. Cryptographic primitives, such as hash function, digital signature, and message authentication codes are being used in several applications including digital image authentication. Use of Least Significant Bit (LSB) is one of the classical approaches for digital image authentication. Although LSB approach is efficient, it does not provide adequate security services. On the other hand, digital signature-based image authentication provides better security, but with added computational cost in comparison with LSB approach. Furthermore, digital signature-based authentication approach requires managing public key infrastructure. Considering security weakness of LSB-based approach and cost overhead of public key based approach, the authors present a digital image authentication scheme using LSB and message authentication codes (MAC). The MAC-based approach for authenticating digital image is secure and efficient approach without public key management overhead. The authors also provide experimental results of the proposed scheme using MATLAB. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme is efficient and secure in comparisons with other schemes.

Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) adalah algoritma untuk menghitung nilai MAC (Message Authentication Code) yang menggunakan Fungsi Hash dikombinasikan dengan sebuah kunci rahasia, Fungsi Hash yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Secure Ha sh Algorithm 256 (SHA256). Nilai MAC digunakan sebagai otentikasi untuk menjamin integritas data dan keaslian pesan. Algoritma ini di implementasikan pada sistem keamanan rumah, dimana pertukaran pesan antara user dan sistem keamanan di otentikasi dengan menggunakan HMAC. Keamanan  algoritma  HMAC ini  dibuktikan  dengan  hasil  pengujian  Avalanche  effect  yang mencapai 87.5% pada fungsi Hash yang digunakan ,dan dibutuhkan waktu sampai 84 tahun untuk serangan Brute force berhasil pada kunci dengan panjang 8 karakter. Kata kunci: keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code, Hash function, Avalanche  effect, Brute force attack
