Hash Collisions occur when two different inputs produce the same hash output in a cryptographic hash function.
Hash Collisions Definition: Hash Collisions occur when two different inputs produce the same hash output in a cryptographic hash function.
Hash Collisions occur in cryptography when two different inputs produce the same output hash value. This collision can potentially lead to security vulnerabilities, as an attacker could manipulate data to produce the same hash value, potentially compromising the integrity of the system. Cryptographic hash functions are designed to have minimal collision probability to ensure data integrity and security.
