A data authenticator
Published in issue 347, October 2005
Cryptography is usually thought of as concerned only with keeping secrets, but there is another use for cryptography, which has more to do with keeping things in the open. This other use, which rightly belongs in this issue on All Things Security, is data authentication: techniques for verifying that data has not been tampered with.
