Avalanche Effect

About the Project

This project demonstrates the Avalanche Effect — a fundamental property of cryptographic hash functions and ciphers. A tiny change in the input (even flipping a single bit) leads to a drastic, unpredictable change in the output.

Features

• Implemented in Rust with a simple, clean structure
• Shows a clear demonstration of the avalanche effect
• Lightweight and easy to run
• Useful as an educational tool for understanding cryptographic principles

Prerequisites

• Install Rust
