I have studied cryptographic hash functions quite a lot, but have not completely understood whether it is possible to have collision resistance but not pre-image and 2nd pre-image resistance at the same time.
Is it possible?
Please answer this question with a general example.
No, any second preimage creates a collision. So collision resistance implies 2nd preimage resistance.
