Collision – Cryptography: In the context of cryptography, a collision refers to an event where two different input values yield the same hash output in a hash function. Such collisions undermine the cryptographic assurance that hash values are unique, thereby challenging data integrity and security. Robust cryptographic systems aim to minimize the likelihood of such occurrences.
