National
Software Reference Library (NSRL)
Unique Hash Analysis
2006-05-30
Draft of "Unique File Identification in the National Software Reference Library"(PDF) by Steve Mead.
"This paper examines whether the techniques used to create file signatures in the NSRL
produce unique results, a core characteristic that the NSRL depends on for the majority
of its uses. The uniqueness of the file identification is analyzed via two methods: an
empirical analysis of the file signatures within the NSRL and research into the recent
attacks on the hash algorithms used to generate the file signatures within the NSRL."
