  2. Hash collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_collision

    John Smith and Sandra Dee share the same hash value of 02, causing a hash collision. In computer science, a hash collision or hash clash [1] is when two distinct pieces of data in a hash table share the same hash value. The hash value in this case is derived from a hash function which takes a data input and returns a fixed length of bits. [2]

  3. Collision attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_attack

    A hash of n bits can be broken in 2 n/2 time steps (evaluations of the hash function). Mathematically stated, a collision attack finds two different messages m1 and m2, such that hash(m1) = hash(m2). In a classical collision attack, the attacker has no control over the content of either message, but they are arbitrarily chosen by the algorithm.

    A necessary adjunct to the hash function is a collision-resolution method that ... in Java, the hash code is a ... designed to avoid collisions in 8-bit ...

  5. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    Hash collision resolved by separate chaining Hash collision by separate chaining with head records in the bucket array. In separate chaining, the process involves building a linked list with key–value pair for each search array index. The collided items are chained together through a single linked list, which can be traversed to access the ...

  6. Open addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_addressing

    Hash collision resolved by linear probing (interval=1). Open addressing, or closed hashing, is a method of collision resolution in hash tables.With this method a hash collision is resolved by probing, or searching through alternative locations in the array (the probe sequence) until either the target record is found, or an unused array slot is found, which indicates that there is no such key ...

  7. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.

  8. Collision resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_resistance

    In words, when given an x, it is not possible to find another x' such that the hashing function would create a collision. A hash function has strong collision resistance when, given a hashing function H, no arbitrary x and x' can be found where H(x)=H(x'). In words, no two x's can be found where the hashing function would create a collision.

    algorithm fnv-1 is hash := FNV_offset_basis for each byte_of_data to be hashed do hash := hash × FNV_prime hash := hash XOR byte_of_data return hash. In the above pseudocode, all variables are unsigned integers. All variables, except for byte_of_data, have the same number of bits as the FNV hash. The variable, byte_of_data, is an 8-bit ...
