Indifferentiability
The indifferentiability framework for showing an idealized construction is as good as the random object it is meant to instantiate.

6-round Feistel indifferentiability Whether 6-round Feistel is fully indifferentiable from a random permutation is open, bridging the proven r=5 attack and the proven r>=8 construction. 2 open |

Salt Length vs. Call Count Fully open in both directions: no construction with \(O(\lambda)\)-length, message-independent salts and \(O(1)\) Merkle-Damgård calls is known, and no proof that none can exist, nor any trade-off between the two, has been given either. 4 open |

Short-Salt MD Combiner Security Open in both directions: the source’s Theorem 3.1 proves security only when salts exceed the message by at least the security parameter, and reports neither an attack nor a security proof once the salts shrink to a constant number of blocks. 4 open |
