Examples of checksum
checksum
For purposes of computing the checksum, the value of the checksum field is zero.

The sum is then one's complemented to yield the value of the UDP checksum field.

Persons looking to implement NMEA 0183 are often stumped by the checksum part.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Some datasets are without the ICCID checksum digit, others are with the digit.

If a header checksum is found to be mismatched, then the packet is discarded.
From the en.wikipedia.org
If no checksum is generated by the transmitter, the field uses the value all-zeros.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This requires a simultaneous hash collision in MD5 and the rolling checksum.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The checksum digit must be calculated from the data digits before it can be encoded.
From the en.wikipedia.org
At each hop, the checksum of the header must be compared to the value of this field.

- A digit representing the sum of the digits in an instance of digital data; used to check whether errors have occurred in transmission or storage
- A checksum or hash sum is a fixed-size datum computed from an arbitrary block of digital data for the purpose of detecting accidental errors that may have been introduced during its transmission or storage. ...
- A code added to the contents of a block of data stored on an RFID microchip that can be checked before and after data is transmitted from the tag to the reader to determine whether the data has been corrupted or lost. The cyclic redundancy check is one form of checksum.
- A calculated value that is used to test data integrity. Errors can occur when data is transmitted or when it is written to disk. One means of detecting such errors is the use of a checksum. ...
- A value that is computed by a function that is dependent on the contents of a data object and is stored or transmitted together with the object, for the purpose of detecting changes in the data.
- A 256-bit hash of the data in a file system block. The checksum capability can range from the simple and fast fletcher2 (the default) to cryptographically strong hashes such as SHA256.
- Used in error detection, a checksum is a computation done on the message and transmitted with the message; similar to using parity bits.
- A mathematical calculation applied to the contents of a packet before and after it is sent. If the "before" calculation does not match the "after" calculation, there were errors in the transmission.
- A checksum is a value that is used to check the integrity of file. Checksums are often used to verify media files that have been uploaded for distribution.
