HMAC (Hashed Message Authentication Code) is also called checksum. True or False?
True
False
The given statement is True. EDIT: I don't believe this question and answer is wrong but I don't believe it is entirely right either. Read following article on IBM's Knowledge Center website for specifics: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com.ibm.java.security.component.70.doc/security-component/jsse2Docs/cryptographichashetc.html -- OTHER EDIT: I think the first edit has a point: all HMACs are checksums, but not all checksums are HMACs. An HMAC provides the integrity checking features of more simplistic checksums (e.g. parity bits, cyclic redundancy check, other unkeyed hashes) but also authentication and non-repudiation guarantees those other schemes do not. EDIT: <--Completely agree. Please reword this question.
