Comparative analysis of quantum circuit implementation for domestic and international hash functions

Abstract

The advent of quantum computers threatens the security of existing hash functions. In this paper, we confirmed the implementation results of quantum circuits for domestic/international hash functions, LSH, SHA2, SHA3 and SM3, and conducted a comparative analysis. To operate the existing hash function in a quantum computer, it must be implemented as a quantum circuit, and the quantum security strength can be confirmed by estimating the necessary quantum resources. We compared methods of quantum circuit implementation and results of quantum resource estimation in various aspects and discussed ways to meet quantum computer security in the future.
