  2. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    Evaluating equation gives P(A′) ≈ 0.492703. Therefore, P(B) ≈ 1 − 0.492703 = 0.507297 (50.7297%). This process can be generalized to a group of n people, where p(n) is the probability of at least two of the n people sharing a birthday. It is easier to first calculate the probability p (n) that all n birthdays are different.

  3. List of paradoxes - Wikipedia

    Bertrand's box paradox: A paradox of conditional probability closely related to the Boy or Girl paradox. Bertrand's paradox: Different common-sense definitions of randomness give quite different results. Birthday paradox: In a random group of only 23 people, there is a better than 50/50 chance two of them have the same birthday.

    English: A graph comparing the accuracy of an approximation of the probability that in a room with n people (shown along the horizontal axis), some two (or more) will share a birthday. The black line, represents the computed probability.

  5. Pollard's rho algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollard's_rho_algorithm

    If the pseudorandom number = occurring in the Pollard ρ algorithm were an actual random number, it would follow that success would be achieved half the time, by the birthday paradox in () (/) iterations. It is believed that the same analysis applies as well to the actual rho algorithm, but this is a heuristic claim, and rigorous analysis of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Birthday_paradox...

    English: In probability theory, the birthday paradox concerns the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, some pair of them will have the same birthday. By the pigeonhole principle, the probability reaches 100% when the number of people reaches 367 (since there are 366 possible birthdays, including February 29).

  7. Birthday attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack

    A birthday attack is a bruteforce collision attack that exploits the mathematics behind the birthday problem in probability theory. This attack can be used to abuse communication between two or more parties. The attack depends on the higher likelihood of collisions found between random attack attempts and a fixed degree of permutations ...
