Collison Attack
An attack on cryptographic hash trying to find two inputs producing the same output
Collison Resistance
The number of evaluations of a hash function on a random input that finds two matching outputs
One Way Hash
Map an arbitrary length of data to the data of a fixed size
eg. 1 = SAGOAWU8439G8934UGH
