First we note that the condition \(\mathtt{hash(x)}=\mathtt{hash(y)}\) is equivalent to the statement "the highest-order \(\mathtt{d}\) bits of \(\mathtt{z} \mathtt{x}\bmod2^{\mathtt{w}}\) and the hig...First we note that the condition \(\mathtt{hash(x)}=\mathtt{hash(y)}\) is equivalent to the statement "the highest-order \(\mathtt{d}\) bits of \(\mathtt{z} \mathtt{x}\bmod2^{\mathtt{w}}\) and the highest-order \(\mathtt{d}\) bits of \(\mathtt{z} \mathtt{y}\bmod 2^{\mathtt{w}}\) are the same."

(This can be, and has been, used to launch denial of service attacks on web servers [17].)
