Title

Finding the Right Pigeonhole

Goal

Writing a code, creating an algorithm.

Description

According to ”Dirichlet’s drawer principle” (aka pigeonhole principle), one can show that no hash function can be completely collision resistant. However, finding collusion could however be very difficult. The objective of this project is to try to create a general (efficient!) algorithm to find collusion. The word “general” here indicates that the algorithm should be hash function independent.
