How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20259202 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: MD6 hash function Context triple: [Yiqun Lisa Yin, coDesignerOf, MD6 hash function]
-
A.
MD4
MD4 is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ronald Rivest that produces a 128-bit hash value and served as the basis for later algorithms like MD5.
-
B.
Whirlpool hash function
Whirlpool is a cryptographic hash function designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto, known for its wide-pipe construction and strong security properties suitable for digital signatures and data integrity.
-
C.
MD5
MD5 is a widely known but now cryptographically broken 128-bit hash function formerly used for checksums, data integrity, and security applications.
-
D.
Merkle–Damgård construction
The Merkle–Damgård construction is a fundamental method for building collision-resistant cryptographic hash functions from fixed-size compression functions, used in many classic hash algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1.
-
E.
Davies–Meyer compression function
The Davies–Meyer compression function is a classic construction in cryptography that builds a hash function’s compression step from a block cipher by feeding the cipher’s output back into the input via XOR.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
