Which consequence results when a cryptographic hash function's collision resistance fails?

💡 Explanation

Compromised collision resistance allows finding two different inputs that produce the same hash, because birthday paradox defines the vulnerability. Therefore, data integrity assurance is lost, rather than other cryptographic properties decaying, because encryption relies on one-way functions.
