Feb 11, 2019 · If a hash is collision resistant, it means that an attacker will be unable to find any two inputs that result in the same output. If a hash is preimage resistant, it means an attacker …

Jul 1, 2017 · The reason a collision matters is that a "collision" shows someone has found a mathematical technique that does what should be almost impossible by any "brute force" …

I wrote the comment in question. I did not mean to say that longer passwords have a higher collision chance, but rather that allowing long inputs increase the chance a collision is …

I've often read that MD5 (among other hashing algorithms) is vulnerable to collisions attacks. I understand the collision part: there exist two (or more) inputs such that MD5 will generate the …

Feb 27, 2022 · A cryptographically secure hash function is typically expected to be indistinguishable from random. That means, effectively, that the outputs are going to be …

Mar 8, 2021 · However, is it still possible to have a collision if the string length is less than the hash size (i.e. MD5 is a 32 character hash)? So if the string is less than 32 characters, is it …

May 26, 2021 · I was reading this article about MD5 hash collisions in which it clearly states that these two strings (differences marked with ^):

Apr 18, 2011 · Is there any collision rate measure for popular hashing algorithms (md5, crc32, sha-*)? If that depends only from output size, it's quite trivial to measure, but I suppose that …

Sep 30, 2016 · For collisions, it's because of this. For password storage, you're not depending on collision resistance, so MD5 is technically ok (if salted and iterated). But people avoid it …

Dec 27, 2022 · I've read from a couple sources that truncating SHA256 to 128 bits is still more collision resistant compared to MD5. My question is, does taking every other hex nibble …
