Abstract

In cryptography, hash functions have very important effects when it's used in the message integrity, digital time stamping, and digital signature.Hash functions compute hash value by a set of logical (primitive) operations that perform on a (32) bit words for authentication.Authentication process becomes very important especially manipulated message undetected that can have disastrous effects in Network Management and E-Commerce.In this paper, a proposal for new hash function based on MD5 is developed.The length of message digest is 224-bit through (4) rounds that each round has a pair of ( 16) steps.The final number of steps is (128) that make stronger function against collision attests and more secure than MD5.
