Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A situation where a cryptographic hash function produces two different digests for the same data input is referred to as a hash collision.
Detailed explanation-2: -In cryptography, a collision attack on a cryptographic hash tries to find two inputs producing the same hash value, i.e. a hash collision. This is in contrast to a preimage attack where a specific target hash value is specified.
Detailed explanation-3: -If two different messages or files produce the same hashing digest, then a collision has occurred.
