Abstract
In this document, we propose the cryptographic hash function Lane as a candidate for the SHA-3 competition [11] organised by NIST. Lane is an iterated hash function supporting multiple digest sizes. Components of the AES block cipher [3, 9] are reused as building blocks. Lane aims to be secure, easy to understand, elegant and flexible in implementation. We give the specification of Lane, and the rationale behind the important design choices. For a more extended specification, security analysis and a discussion of the implementation aspects, we refer to the Lane submission document [6].
