Question

A ___________ is an algorithm for which it is computationally infeasible to find either (a) a data object that maps to a pre-specified hash result or (b) two data objects that map to the same hash result. a. cryptographic hash function b. strong collision resistance c. one-way hash function d. compression function

Answer 1

a. cryptographic hash function

Step-by-step explanation:

A cryptographic hash function is a hash function that is suitable for use in cryptography. It is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a bit string of a fixed size and is a one-way function, that is, a function which is practically infeasible to invert.
