manipulation detection code

Synonym for "checksum".

Deprecated Term: IDOCs SHOULD NOT use this term as a synonym for "checksum"; the word "manipulation" implies protection against active attacks, which an ordinary checksum might not provide. Instead, if such protection is intended, use "protected checksum" or some particular type thereof, depending on which is meant. If

such protection is not intended, use "error detection code" or some specific type of checksum that is not protected.
