Key Points
The data integrity services are dependant on encryption mechanisms for
modification detection, message authentication and digital signatures.
Presentation Script
Data integrity mechanisms protect information from unauthorized modification.
All data integrity mechanisms are based on the principle of redundancy. That is,
given an original data object, a data integrity object is calculated on the original
data. Typically, the original data object and the data integrity object are kept
together.
Mechanisms such as a Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC) check or a parity field
check, which ...
