You might be interested in https://electriccoin.co/blog/lessons-from-the-history-of-attacks-on-secure-hash-functions/ https://electriccoin.co/blog/lessons-from-the-history-of-att... (caveat: it’s a few years old, and it might have mistakes). It’s an empirical view on the history of hash functions. The results were very interesting to me. Against collision attacks, it kind of seems like we figured out how to make hash functions secure against them in the 2000’s (compared to block ciphers, which I guess we mostly figured out in the 1970’s). Against preimage attacks, it seems like we figured out how to make hash functions secure against them as soon as we invented secure hash functions at all — in the 1990’s.
