Abstract: Providing a way to check the integrity of information stored in an unreliable medium is a prime necessity in the field of secure storage systems. Also in operating systems like Unix that allow a user to bypass the file system to access the raw disk, integrity checks not only detect data corruption, but also track malicious attacks. Checksumming is a common way of ensuring data integrity. Checksums that are generated using cryptographic hash functions prevent unauthorized users from generating... (Update)
