• Abstract: Cayley hash functions are based on a simple idea of using a pair of semigroup elements, A and B, to hash the 0 and 1 bit, respectively, and then to hash an arbitrary bit string in the natural way, by using multiplication of elements in the semigroup. The main advantage of Cayley hash functions compared to, say, hash functions in the SHA family is that when an already hashed document is amended, one does not have to hash the whole amended document all over again, but rather hash just the amended part and then multiply the result by the hash of the original document. In this article, we survey some of the previously proposed Cayley hash functions and single out a very simple hash function whose security has not been compromised up to date.

  ConceptHash is a novel method that achieves sub-code level interpretability. In ConceptHash, each sub-code corresponds to a human-understandable concept, such as an object part. We incorporate language guidance to ensure that the learned hash codes are distinguishable within fine-grained object classes.

• Cryptanalysis of a Cayley Hash Function Based on Affine Maps in one Variable over a Finite Field [0.0]
  Cayley hash functions are cryptographic hashes constructed from Cayley graphs of groups. The hash function proposed by Shpilrain and Sosnovski, based on linear functions over a finite field, was proven insecure. This paper shows that the proposal by Ghaffari and Mostmaghi that uses the hash in its construction is also insecure.

• A Lower Bound of Hash Codes' Performance [122.88252443695492]
  In this paper, we prove that inter-class distinctiveness and intra-class compactness among hash codes determine the lower bound of hash codes' performance. We then propose a surrogate model to fully exploit the above objective by estimating the posterior of hash codes and controlling it, which results in a low-bias optimization. By testing on a series of hash-models, we obtain performance improvements among all of them, with an up to $26.5%$ increase in mean Average Precision and an up to $20.5%$ increase in accuracy.

  We define new families of Tillich-Z'emor hash functions, using higher dimensional special linear groups over finite fields as platforms. Cayley graphs of these groups combine fast mixing properties and high girth, which together give rise to good preimage and collision resistance of the corresponding hash functions.

  We introduce Naturally-Sorted Hashing (NSH) to train a deep hashing model with sorted results end-to-end. NSH sort the Hamming distances of samples' hash codes and accordingly gather their latent representations for self-supervised training. We describe a novel Sorted Noise-Contrastive Estimation (SortedNCE) loss that selectively picks positive and negative samples for contrastive learning.

  Existing methods have poor performance in retrieval using an extremely short-length hash code. In this study, we propose a novel reinforcing short-length hashing (RSLH) In this proposed RSLH, mutual reconstruction between the hash representation and semantic labels is performed to preserve the semantic information. Experiments on three large-scale image benchmarks demonstrate the superior performance of RSLH under various short-length hashing scenarios.

• Targeted Attack for Deep Hashing based Retrieval [57.582221494035856]
  We propose a novel method, dubbed deep hashing targeted attack (DHTA), to study the targeted attack on such retrieval. We first formulate the targeted attack as a point-to-set optimization, which minimizes the average distance between the hash code of an adversarial example and those of a set of objects with the target label. To balance the performance and perceptibility, we propose to minimize the Hamming distance between the hash code of the adversarial example and the anchor code under the $ellinfty$ restriction on the perturbation.
