RSA digital signature vs authenticated cipher
I want to provide both confidentiality and integrity for data at rest (many large files stored on disk).
I plan to encrypt the data using AES, which will cover the confidentiality requirement.
So ...

Can one build a one-way function from AES?
We change the AES block cipher encryption:
we delete the key schedule algorithm
the user now provides a string of 1408 bits
we divide the string to 11 sub keys, and use them directly in the ...

Secure Hash Function based on AES
How secure would a hash function be which appends an extra block of 16 zeroed out bytes to the end of the message and then AES-encrypts it with a well-known password (say the first 128 bits of pi) ...
