Edon-R is one of the candidate hash functions for the ongoing NIST competition for the next cryptographic hash standard called SHA-3. Its construction is
based on algebraic properties of non-commutative and non-associative quasigroups of orders 2256 and 2512. In this paper we present some results from
our investigation of the mathematical properties of the quasigroups used in
Edon-R.
