What can be defined as an instance of two different keys generating the same ciphertext from the same plaintext?
Key clustering occurs when two different keys generate the same ciphertext from the same plaintext using the same encryption algorithm. This phenomenon is specific to encryption and should not be confused with collision, which is usually associated with hashing functions.
not A?
Similar scenarios except one is for hashes and the other is for ciphertexts. Collision = talking about hashes. Clustering = ciphertext
"The correct response is key clustering. In key clustering two different keys generate the same cipher text from the same plaintext."
The correct term for this scenario is "Ciphertext collision," where two different keys generate the same ciphertext from the same plaintext. So, the answer is D.
