An acronym for SUMmation CHECK. In data communications, an error-checking technique in which the number of bits in a unit of data is summed, transmitted along with the data, and checked by the receiving computer. If the sum differs, an error probably occurred in transmission and the transmission is repeated. A commonly used personal computer communications protocol called XMODEM uses the checksum technique. In some virus scanning and file integrity software checksums are calculted for every file in a directory and the results are stoed in the directory. When the program is scanningm it compares the checksum information stored in the directory with the current checksum for each scanned file. A difference in the sum may indicate that the file has been infected by a virus that doesn't leave a recognised signature.
To generate a 16-bit checksum for data verification, the process involves dividing the data into 16-bit blocks, adding up all the blocks, and then taking the one's complement of the sum to obtain the checksum. This checksum can be appended to the data for verification purposes.

A checksum is used solely to see if a file has changed or to see if two files contain exactly the same data. The chances of two different files having the same checksum is very, very small. If you change a file in any way, even by one byte, the checksum will change.
A checksum (also known as a hash sum) is a small size datum computed from a block of digital data. One would use a checksum to detect errors that could have been introduced during storage.
To calculate the Internet checksum for the data 5AD3 EE35, you need to perform binary addition of the hexadecimal values and then take the one's complement of the result. The checksum value will be sent along with the data. For the received message 59D3 EF35 B6F6, you would repeat the checksum calculation, including the checksum. If the result equals 0, the message is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. Without performing detailed calculations, it's impossible to definitively say whether the received message will be accepted.

The scope of work and the educational requirements are the difference between data communication and data communication information.

PS2 game CDs have a checksum value of zero in several blocks on the disc where consumer CD burners normally cannot write, and certainly cannot write data that will produce a zero checksum.
Redundancy checking is a technique used to detect errors or errors in a data transmission. It involves adding extra bits to the data to create a checksum or parity. The receiver then checks for errors by recalculating the checksum or parity and comparing it to the received value. If they do not match, an error is detected.
