Collisions can and do occur, MD5 has a low collision rate"hash," a long number unique to that file
No. Else your temp folder would have a few hundred thousand files in it.Each time the user saves a file in progress, a temporary version of that file is created and stored in the aptly named "temp" folder
These are both the same problem.One of the most common and bothersome weaknesses occurs when an encryption method, also called a cipher or an algorithm, that's supposed to generate seemingly random strings of gibberish instead produces outputs that have a discernible pattern. If the pattern gets noticed by interlopers, it may help them crack the encrypted data.
A similar issue involves encryption algorithms that generate predictable patterns of characters in response to repetitious, predictable input.
