The Avalanche Effect

The Avalanche Effect is a property of cryptographic algorithms where a small change in the input, such as flipping a single bit, results in a significantly different output. This means that even tiny modifications produce drastic, unpredictable changes, enhancing security by making it difficult for attackers to trace or predict outputs based on input variations. In essence, it ensures that similar inputs do not produce similar outputs, thereby strengthening the integrity and confidentiality of data encryption.
