چکیده

Using the idea behind the Tillich-Zémor hash function, we propose a new hash function. Our hash function is parallelizable and its collision resistance is implied by a hardness assumption on a mathematical problem. Also, it is secure against the known attacks. It is the most secure variant of the Tillich-Zémor hash function until now.
