1. Understand the inevitability of collisions
A hash maps an unlimited input space to a fixed output space (e.g., 256 bits for SHA-256). By the pigeonhole principle, collisions must exist. However, for a secure hash, finding one should be computationally infeasible — requiring about 2^128 attempts for SHA-256 (birthday bound).
入力SHA-256: 2^256 outputs输出collision needs ~2^128 tries -
2. Learn about broken hash functions
MD5 is fully broken: collisions can be found in seconds. SHA-1 is practically broken: the SHAttered attack found a real collision in 2017. SHA-256 and SHA-3 remain secure. Never use MD5 or SHA-1 for security purposes.
入力MD5 collision输出found in <1 second -
3. Understand collision vs preimage attacks
A collision attack finds any two inputs with the same hash. A preimage attack finds an input that hashes to a specific value. Collision attacks are easier (birthday bound). For password storage, preimage resistance matters; for digital signatures, collision resistance matters.
入力collision: 2^(n/2) | preimage: 2^n输出different difficulty

よくあるエラー
- Using MD5 for integrity checking
- MD5 collisions are trivial to produce. Use SHA-256 or SHA-3 for any security-relevant integrity check.
- Assuming collision resistance implies preimage resistance
- They are distinct properties. A function can be collision-resistant but not preimage-resistant, though standard hash functions aim for both.
トラブルシューティング指引
- If you see MD5 or SHA-1 in a legacy system, plan to migrate to SHA-256 or SHA-3.
- For digital signatures, collision resistance is the critical property; use SHA-256 or stronger.
セキュリティ上の制限
- MD5 and SHA-1 are broken and must not be used for security. SHA-256 and SHA-3 are currently secure.
