Finding any distinct messages with equal cryptographic hash values should be computationally infeasible under the specified security model. A collision can let a signed digest authenticate an unintended message.

Collision resistance is a property of cryptographic hash functions that ensures it is computationally infeasible to find two distinct inputs that produce the same hash output. In other words, for a hash function \( h \), it should be hard to find inputs \( x \) and \( y \) (where \( x \neq y \)) such that \( h(x) = h(y) \).
