| Jan 7, 2022 at 13:49 | comment | added | knaccc | I think that essentially you're saying that you disagree with the paper's statement that "there are high-entropy input distributions that will be mapped to small subsets of outputs" when a modern hash is used. This makes intuitive sense, in that it amounts to something approximating finding collisions in a hash function by meddling with a high-entropy source. | |
