This has appeared on a french mailing-list related to crypto. The results of 
Joux improve on those of Chen and Biham which will be presented next week at 
CRYPTO'04.

Enjoy !

We are glad to announce that we found a collision for SHA-0.

First message (2048 bits represented in hex):

Common hash value (can be found using for example "openssl sha file.bin"
after creating a binary file containing any of the messages)
c9f160777d4086fe8095fba58b7e20c228a4006b

This was done by using a generalization of the attack presented at Crypto'98
by Chabaud and Joux. This generalization takes advantage of the iterative
structure of SHA-0. We also used the "neutral bit" technique of Biham and
Chen (To be presented at Crypto'2004).

The computation was performed on TERA NOVA (a 256 Intel-Itanium2 system
developped by BULL SA, installed in the CEA DAM open laboratory
TERA TECH). It required approximatively 80 000 CPU hours.
The complexity of the attack was about 2^51.

We would like to thank CEA DAM, CAPS Entreprise and BULL SA for
their strong support to break this challenge.

Antoine Joux(*) (DCSSI Crypto Lab)
Patrick Carribault (Bull SA)
Christophe Lemuet, William Jalby
(Universit'e de Versailles/Saint-Quentin en Yvelines)

(*) The theoretical cryptanalysis was developped by this author.
The three others authors ported and optimized the attack on the TERA NOVA
supercomputer, using CAPS Entreprise tools.
