Collision Search Attack for 53-Step HAS-160

HAS-160 is a cryptographic hash function which is designed and used widely in Korea. In ICISC 2005, Yun et al. presented a collision search attack for the first 45 steps of HAS-160. In this paper, we extend the result to the first 53 steps of HAS-160. The time complexity of the attack is about 255.
