Collision Detection in Simple Hash Functions using Birthday Attack

This video presents our mini project on “Collision Detection in Simple Hash Functions using the Birthday Attack.” In this project, we implemented a simple hash function using Python and demonstrated how collisions occur when two different messages generate the same hash value. We performed experiments for 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit hash sizes and compared practical results with the theoretical predictions of the Birthday Paradox. The presentation also explains hash functions, collision probability, Birthday Attacks, code implementation, experimental outputs, and real-world cybersecurity applications.
