\section{Whirlpool} Whirlpool is a cryptographic hash function designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo Barreto, first published in 2000 and standardized by ISO/IEC in 2004. It produces a 512-bit digest from a message of arbitrary length, processing data in 512-bit blocks. Its internal structure is inspired by the wide-pipe Miyaguchi-Preneel construction and shares design principles with AES, using a substitution-permutation network over an $8 \times 8$ matrix of bytes. \vspace{1em} Whirlpool maintains a state of eight 64-bit words, forming an $8 \times 8$ matrix of bytes. Each 512-bit block is processed in 10 rounds. Each round applies four successive transformations to the state matrix: a byte substitution, a column shift, a row mixing, and a round key addition. \vspace{1em} The padding scheme follows the same structure as MD5 and SHA-256: a single \texttt{1} bit is appended, followed by \texttt{0} bits until the message length is congruent to 448 bits modulo 512. The original message length in bits is then appended as a 64-bit big-endian integer. \newpage Each round applies the following four transformations in order: \medskip \textbf{SubBytes} replaces each byte of the state matrix by its image under the Whirlpool S-box, a fixed 256-entry lookup table defined in the Whirlpool specification. \medskip \textbf{ShiftColumns} cyclically shifts each column $j$ of the state matrix upward by $j$ positions, producing a transposition that spreads bytes across rows. Formally, if $a_{i,j}$ denotes the byte at row $i$, column $j$ of the state matrix, ShiftColumns produces: \begin{align*} b_{i,j} = a_{i',\ j} \quad \text{where } i' = (i - j) \bmod 8 \end{align*} \medskip \textbf{MixRows} multiplies each row of the state matrix by a fixed MDS matrix over $\mathrm{GF}(2^8)$ with irreducible polynomial $x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1$, providing diffusion across the eight bytes of each row. Formally, for each row $i$, each output byte $b_j$ is computed as: \begin{align*} b_j = \bigoplus_{k=0}^{7} \mathrm{MDS}[(j - k) \bmod 8] \cdot a_{i,k} \end{align*} \noindent where $\cdot$ denotes multiplication in $\mathrm{GF}(2^8)$ and $\oplus$ denotes XOR. \medskip \textbf{AddRoundKey} XORs the state with the current round key. \begin{align*} %TODO: \forall i \in \mathbb{N},\ 0 \leq i < 8, \end{align*} \newpage The S-box and the MDS matrix coefficients are fixed tables defined in the Whirlpool specification; their values are too large to reproduce here. The round constants $\mathrm{RC}[r]$, $r \in \mathbb{N},\ 1 \leq r \leq 10$, are however directly derived from the S-box. Each $\mathrm{RC}[r]$ is an 8-word state where only the first word is non-zero: \begin{align*} \mathrm{RC}[r][0] &= \sum_{k=0}^{7} S[8(r-1)+k] \cdot 2^{8(7-k)} \\ \mathrm{RC}[r][j] &= 0 \quad \forall j \in \mathbb{N},\ 1 \leq j \leq 7 \end{align*} \noindent Their role is to break symmetry in the key schedule: without them, a symmetric input state would produce symmetric round keys, weakening the internal block transformation. \vspace{1em} The round keys $K[r]$, $r \in \mathbb{N},\ 0 \leq r \leq 10$, are derived from the current hash state. $K[0]$ is set to the state before processing the block. Each subsequent key is obtained by applying the round function to the previous key with a precomputed round constant, where $\text{Round}(S, K)$ denotes the successive application of SubBytes, ShiftColumns, MixRows, and AddRoundKey with key $K$ to state $S$: \begin{align*} K[0] &= H \\ K[r] &= \text{Round}(K[r-1],\ \mathrm{RC}[r]) \quad r \in \mathbb{N},\ 1 \leq r \leq 10 \end{align*} The block $M$ is then encrypted using these keys under a wide-pipe construction. The final state update follows the Miyaguchi-Preneel scheme: \begin{align*} H \leftarrow E(H,\ M) \oplus M \oplus H \end{align*} \noindent where $E(H, M)$ denotes the encryption of $M$ with key schedule derived from $H$. \vspace{1em} The state is initialized to all zeros. After all blocks have been processed, the eight 64-bit state words are serialized in big-endian order to produce the 512-bit digest.
