Answer / Kamal Kant Udaniya
A birthday attack is a type of cryptanalytic attack based on the probability of two inputs (e.g., hashes or encryption keys) being identical by chance, similar to finding two people with the same birthdate in a group larger than the square root of the total population. This attack can potentially be used to break some hash functions and symmetric key cryptography schemes.
