I'd imagine it would be nearly impossible to generate a collision that a.) does what you want, b.) is small enough to be unobtrusive, and c.) can be discovered

I'd imagine it would be nearly impossible to generate a collision that a.) does what you want, b.) is small enough to be unobtrusive, and c.) can be discovered in finite time with the computing power reasonably available to NSA/GCHQ/insert SIGINT organization of choice.
- escape_goat 11y agoI asked because git uses SHA1, which might be a bit low on (c) at this point.
- vishbar 11y agoTrue. Generating collisions is doable, but a.) and b.) are still huge constraints that make it orders of magnitude more difficult.
