integrity check

A computation that is part of a mechanism to provide data integrity service or data origin authentication service. (Compare: checksum.)

Deprecated Term: IDOCs SHOULD NOT use this term as a synonym for "cryptographic hash" or "protected checksum". This term unnecessarily duplicates the meaning of other, well-established terms; this term only mentions integrity, even though the intended service may be data origin authentication; and not every checksum is cryptographically protected.
