Cryptography Attacks Hash Collision Attack A hash collision attack is performed by finding two different input messages that result in the same hash output. This allows the attacker to perform cryptanalysis by exploiting the digital signature used to generate a different message with same hash value. (P.3124/3108)

A hash collision attack is performed by finding two different input messages that result in the same hash output. For example, in a hash collision attack, “hash(a1) = hash(a2)”, where a1 and a2 represent some random messages. Since the algorithm itself randomly selects these messages, attackers have no role in the content of these messages. This allows the attacker to perform cryptanalysis by exploiting the digital signature used to generate a different message with the same hash value.
