What property of a hash function means that collisions are not a security problem. That is, why can an attacker not capitalize on collisions and change the underlying plaintext to another form whose value collides with the hash value of the original plaintext?

What will be an ideal response?


For sufficiently strong hash functions, collisions are extremely rare and unpredictable, making the discovery of collisions computationally infeasible.
