1. What does “exact” mean to you in this context?
2. What else is more interesting about a hashing algorithm used to identify things, other than its collision rate?
- scotty79 5y agoAd.1 Same value of each of 96 bits of the hash. Ad.2 If hashes are to be matched approximately, not exactly, for example will be considered a match if they differ in less than 3 bits out of 96 then the most interesting thing should be how many collisions you can find if you compare them like that.
