Annotations

dc:descriptionAlgorithms for creating checksums. These checksums are for error detection and possibly correction on a low level, e.g. disturbances over a noisy connection. They are not secure to use for high-level integrity as new checksums can easily be created and small changes in the data can result in the same checksum. For stronger checksum algorithms, see the class cryptographic hash function.
