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]
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.
This property is sometimes referred to as weak collision resistance. Functions that lack this property are vulnerable to second pre-image attacks. Collision resistance: it should be hard to find two different messages m 1 and m 2 such that hash(m 1) = hash(m 2). Such a pair is called a (cryptographic) hash collision.
For a word size w between 1-64 bits, the hash provides a security claim of 2 9.5w. The attack can find a collision in 2 11w time. [21] RIPEMD-160 2 80: 48 of 80 rounds (2 51 time) 2006 Paper.

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.
“I’m just so in shock right now,” Andy Beyer, Brielle’s dad and Justyna’s husband, told CNN. “There’s like a place in my mind that I can’t get near with all of the pain and grief.
This property is sometimes referred to as strong collision resistance. It requires a hash value at least twice as long as that required for pre-image resistance; otherwise, collisions may be found by a birthday attack. [4] Collision resistance implies second pre-image resistance but does not imply pre-image resistance. [5]
Wells said the collision was so violent, it sounded like a train crash. The deadly incident since has led to multiple court cases: Chenot’s family, represented by Paboojian, is suing the tow ...
