Abstract :
One of the current trends in cryptography is to search for new approaches to the cryptographic algorithms design. One such possibility is to use the other algebraic structures, such as a quasigroup, rather than the traditional. Quasigroups are equivalent to more familiar Latin squares. One of quasigroups´ important properties is that all possible elements of certain quasigroup occur with equal probability. Testing properties of quasigroups of a large order isn´t trivial, effective methods are necessary. There are described statistical experiments on various types of data, on various types of guasi-groups in this paper; experiments were done within a framework of a simple quasigorup hash function. The distribution of hash value´s changes, for given quasigroup and for given testing data, with respect to bit change in them and with respect to the positions of changed bits were measured.
