What are pseudo-collisions?..

Answer / Iqra

Pseudo-collisions in cryptography refer to inputs that, when hashed multiple times, result in the same output (hash collision) but without an actual attack on the hash function. They can occur due to the random nature of the hash function and do not necessarily indicate a weakness in the algorithm.
