Why is SHA-2 considered an ARX construction when it also uses non-ARX operations?
SHA-2 makes use of non-ARX non-linear operators such as the Choice and Majority functions:
\begin{align}
\mathsf{Ch}(E,F,G) &= (E \wedge F) \oplus (\neg E \wedge G)\\
\mathsf{Ma}(A, B, C) &= (A \wedge …

Is the sha256 x86 extension close to optimal in silicon? (as it relates to a VDF)
I came across the Solana network utilizing sha256 as a "proof of history". They are using it as a pseudo-VDF (verifiable delay function). The reason it's pseudo is because verification is done by full …
