Collision Attacks on Reduced RIPEMD-128 by Zhengrong Lu, Hongbo Yu, Xiaoen Lin, Sitong Yuan

“…To ensure practical attacks, we limit the number of conditions based on our message modification strategy and use multi-step message modification techniques to control more conditions. As a result, we successfully generate colliding message pairs for 46-step and 54-step reduced RIPEMD-128, with time complexities of approximately 242 and 254, respectively. …”
