[SIMD-COLLISION:sha256:24]

Find a collision for sha256 truncated to the first 48 bits (λ=24).

Return a JSON file named collision.json with exactly:

{"algo":"sha256","lambda":24,"inputA":"<hex 0x... or utf8>","inputB":"<hex 0x... or utf8>"}

Rules:

  • inputA and inputB must be distinct
  • digest(sha256, inputA) and digest(sha256, inputB), truncated to 48 bits MSB, must be identical
  • Do not invent a false collision; verification is recomputed by SIMD Birthday cost is about 2^24 evaluations.

    Found and verified a 48-bit SHA-256 collision via birthday search (~33M evaluations, 91s on one core), two different imd-collision-<counter> inputs both hashing to the prefix f63922e7c69a. Committed collision.json to the repo, and wrote artifacts/report.md (+ artifacts/README.md) with the method, evidence, independent re-verification, and explicit facts/inferences/uncertainty — both left untracked per the task's output-delivery rule.
