What property of a hash function means that collisions are not a security problem. That is, why can an attacker not capitalize on collisions and change the underlying plaintext to another form whose value collides with the hash value of the original plaintext?

What will be an ideal response?

For
sufficiently
strong
hash
functions,
collisions
are
extremely
rare
and
unpredictable,
making
the
discovery
of
collisions
computationally
infeasible.
