I say Wow here to the simple presentation of the collision and also
forwarding this great piece here. The technical gurus of this board may have
found the above link boring....but a novice like me found it very
interesting

I'm looking for similar simple explanations like the above on what a hash
functions is and what algorithms are and what other basics should some one
know before making _their_own_ choice of algos, hash etc

any pointers would be most appreciated


regards
maniams
