Topic: Checksum



  
 Checksum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cost of the ability to detect more types of error is the increased complexity of computing the checksum.
The simplest form of checksum, which simply adds up the bytes in the data, cannot detect a number of types of errors.
More sophisticated types of redundancy check, including Fletcher's checksum, Adler-32, and cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs), are designed to address these weaknesses by considering not only the value of each byte but also its position.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

  
 [No title]
For computing the checksum, the checksum field should be zero.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc792.txt

  
 Checksum Task
Specifies the algorithm to be used to compute the checksum.
The individual checksums and the relative paths to the files within the filesets they are defined in will be used to compute this checksum.
If you are going to use the task to create checksums used in an environment where security is important, please take some time to investigate the algorithms offered by your JCE provider.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/checksum.html

  
 Checksum Algorithm
For example, the simplest checksum is to sum up all the bytes of a transmission, computing the sum in an 8-bit counter.
A checksum is a value which is computed which allows you to check the validity of something.
A solution to this is to do something like negate the checksum value computed, subtract 1 from it, and expect that the result of the receiver's checksum of the n bytes is 0xFF (-1, as a signed 8-bit value).

 CHECKSUM 1L "19 June 1992"
If the checksum has previously been installed in the input file, and the input file has not been corrupted since then, the output file will be identical to the input file.
checksum computes a 16-bit cyclic redundancy checksum (CRC) for a file, as well as counts of the words, lines and characters.
checksum is intended to support the reliable exchange of text files between different computers, even ones with different operating systems.

 Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a type of hash function used to produce a checksum, which is a small number of bits, from a large block of data, such as a packet of network traffic or a block of a computer file, in order to detect errors in transmission or storage.
Alder-32 Note: D is the string of bytes for which the checksum is to be calculated, and n is the length of D.
The coefficients of the remainder polynomial are the CRC, and there are simple, efficient algorithms for computing this remainder, such as the one shown below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

  
 Checksum Classes
The Checksum classes are used to compute checksums for arbitrary binary streams.
Checksum computation classes provide MD5 and CRC checksum computation
XGCRCChecksum::kCRC16 Causes this object to compute a 16-bit checksum, as used in most applications which compute a 16-bit checksum.
http://yaaf.sourceforge.net/docs/quickrefguide/checksum.html

  
 FITS Checksum Proposal
The 1's complement checksum is simple and fast to compute.
Other checksums are also options in the binary case, especially if the checksum fields can be located at the end of the file, which simplifies the arithmetic significantly.
The checksum does not guard against organized transformations or malicious tampering, however, because simple tranformations, such as rearranging the order of 32-bit words in the file, do not affect the computed checksum value.
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/fits/checksum23may02/checksum23may02.html

  
 Checksum
Good algorithms for computing checksums are not obvious.
Of course, no human should have to compute a checksum; that is a job for a computer program.
The file must contain the checksum, but somehow, the checksum itself must not be counted when the checksum is computed.
http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/software/filehdr/node15.html

  
 Pescados Software -   checkSum+
These files store "checksum" information about files, and will allow this and other applications know if the related files are or not corrupted.
We also use ed2k_hash (available at SourceForge) to generate the md4 algorithm specific for the mlnet network, and sha2 for all the sha2 algorithms (thanks to Aaron Gifford).
If you have a file which you can't process using checkSum+ and you receive a dialog similar to "I can't process this file", then it simply can't be done.

 RFC 1146 (rfc1146) - TCP alternate checksum options
Whether the checksum is split between the checksum field in the TCP header and the option or the entire checksum is placed in the option is determined on a checksum by checksum basis.
Should the alternate checksum require more than 2 octets to transmit, the checksum may either be moved into a TCP Alternate Checksum Data Option and the checksum field of the TCP header be sent as 0, or the data may be split between the header field and the option.
APPENDIX II: The 16-bit Fletcher Checksum Algorithm The 16-bit Fletcher Checksum algorithm proceeds in precisely the same manner as the 8-bit checksum algorithm,, except that A, B and the D[i] are 16-bit quantities.

 CHECKSUM (Transact-SQL Reference (SQL Server))
BINARY_CHECKSUM and CHECKSUM are similar functions: they can be used to compute a checksum value on a list of expressions, and the order of expressions affects the resultant value.
The hash index is built by adding a computed checksum column to the table being indexed, then building an index on the checksum column.
Returns the checksum value computed over a row of a table, or over a list of expressions.

 [No title]
Suppose a checksum is to be computed over the sequence of octets Braden, Borman, & Partridge [Page 1] RFC 1071 Computing the Internet Checksum September 1988 A, B, C, D,...
Before computing the checksum value, the sender places a zero in the checksum field of the packet.
This allows the sender to compute the checksum function by placing a zero in the packet checksum field before computing the value.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1071.txt

  
 RFC 1624 - Computation of the Internet Checksum via Incremental Update. A. Rijsinghani, Ed..
RFC 1624 Incremental Internet Checksum May 1994 non-zero field in the IP header, and the checksum field in the protocol header is the complement of the sum, the checksum field can never contain ~(+0), which is -0 (0xFFFF).
It is recommended that intermediate systems compute incremental checksum using the method described in this document, and end systems verify checksum as per the method described in RFC 1071.
RFC 1141 yields an updated header checksum of -0 when it should be +0.

 REBOL: Checksum - Function Summary
Generally, a checksum is a number which accompanies data to verify that the data has not changed (did not have errors).
The /TCP refinement is used to compute the standard TCP networking checksum.
The /Secure refinement creates a binary string result that is cryptographically secure:

 Checksum Transmission
The number of false matches on weak checksums (and hence unnecessary strong checksum calculations) are proportinal to the number of hashes calculated by the client (which is roughly the file size on the client) times the likelyhood of a false match.
In practice, this means that 4 bytes of weak checksum is optimal in most cases, but for some smaller files 3 bytes is better.
The main content of the control file will be the checksums for blocks of data in the file to be downloaded.

 Google changed the toolbar checksum algorithm
In June 2004, this checksum algorithm was cracked and the code was released all over the web (see comments about that).
As you may know, the Google Toolbar has a built in code (in a DLL) for computing the checksum associated to each URL viewed in the browser.
This is the reason why we chose to base our PageRank and Backlinks Analyzer software PR Weaver on the Google toolbar and not on cracked versions of the algorithm.

 CMOS checksum errors
Explanation: A checksum is computed as an error-detecting code, to protect the BIOS settings stored in the CMOS memory.
Each time the system is booted this number is recomputed and checked against the stored value.
Viruses can also affect CMOS settings, and motherboard problems can also affect the stored values.

 Distributed Checksum Clearinghouses
The 100,000 mail messages/day threshold is implied by the fact that each DCC client-server operation involves about 100 bytes and a flood of checksums between servers is significantly more than 10,000,000 bytes/day.
The counts can be used by SMTP servers and mail user agents to detect and reject or filter spam or unsolicited bulk mail.
The idea of the DCC is that if mail recipients could compare the mail they receive, they could recognize unsolicited bulk mail.

 What's an ISBN, a UPC, and a checksum
A checksum is a digit that is the product of a series of mathematical operations on the first digits that help doublecheck that the other digits are correctly entered into a system when typed manually or barcode scanned.
The checksum for ISBNs is base 11, meaning that it can be a number from 0 to 10.
A UPC is a Universal Product Code, which is used in bar code format on all manner of goods for sale.

 checksum - a Whatis.com definition
A checksum is a count of the number of bits in a transmission unit that is included with the unit so that the receiver can check to see whether the same number of bits arrived.
