Preimage attack - Definition

In cryptography, a preimage attack on a cryptographic hash differs from a collision attack. In a preimage attack, the attacker starts with a particular output, and is able to find an input that will produce that particular output, whereas a collision attack merely finds two inputs that produce the same output.
