Collision
In physics, a collision is any event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other in a relatively short time. Although the most common use of the word ''collision'' refers to incidents in which two or more objects collide with great force, the scientific use of the term implies nothing about the magnitude of the force. Some examples of physical interactions that scientists would consider collisions are the following: * When an insect lands on a plant's leaf, its legs are said to collide with the leaf. * When a cat strides across a lawn, each contact that its paws make with the ground is considered a collision, as well as each brush of its fur against a blade of grass. * When a boxer throws a punch, their fist is said to collide with the opponents body. * When an astronomical object merges with a black hole, they are considered to collide. Some colloquial uses of the word collision are the following: * A traffic collision involves at least one automobile. * A mid-air ...

Collision (telecommunications)
A collision is the situation that occurs when two or more demands are made simultaneously on equipment that can handle only one at any given instant.Source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188 It may refer to: * Collision domain, a physical network segment where data packets can "collide" ** Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance, (CSMA/CA) used for example with wireless LANs ** Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection, (CSMA/CD) used with Ethernet * Late collision, a specific type of collision that should not occur on properly operating networks * Local collision is a collision that occurs in the network interface rather than on the network itself See also * Collision (other) * Contention (telecommunications) In statistical time division multiplexing, contention is a media access method that is used to share a broadcast medium.

Hash Collision
In computer science, a hash collision or hash clash is when two 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. Although hash algorithms have been created with the intent of being collision resistant, they can still sometimes map different data to the same hash (by virtue of the pigeonhole principle). Malicious users can take advantage of this to mimic, access, or alter data. Due to the possible negative applications of hash collisions in data management and computer security (in particular, cryptographic hash functions), collision avoidance has become an important topic in computer security. Background Hash collisions can be unavoidable depending on the number of objects in a set and whether or not the bit string they are mapped to is long enough in length. When there is a set of ''n'' objects, if ''n'' is greater than , ''R'', , which in this ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
