Collision resistance: Definition, Pseudo-collisions & Rationale

In cryptography, collision resistance is a property of cryptographic hash functions (CHFs): a hash function H is collision-resistant if it is hard to find two inputs that hash to the same output; that is, two inputs a and b where a ≠ b but H(a) = H(b). The pigeonhole principle means that any hash function with more inputs than outputs will necessarily…
