  2. File verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_verification

    A checksum file is a small file that contains the checksums of other files. There are a few well-known checksum file formats. [1] Several utilities, such as md5deep, can use such checksum files to automatically verify an entire directory of files in one operation. The particular hash algorithm used is often indicated by the file extension of ...

  3. Simple file verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_file_verification

    Simple file verification (SFV) is a file format for storing CRC32 checksums of files to verify the integrity of files. SFV is used to verify that a file has not been corrupted, but it does not otherwise verify the file's authenticity. The .sfv file extension is usually used for SFV files. [1]

  4. File integrity monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_integrity_monitoring

    File integrity monitoring (FIM) is an internal control or process that performs the act of validating the integrity of operating system and application software files using a verification method between the current file state and a known, good baseline.

  5. md5sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum

    md5sum is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. Most commonly, md5sum is used to verify that a file has not changed as a result of a faulty file transfer, a

  6. Checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

    A checksum is a small-sized block of data derived from another block of digital data for the purpose of detecting errors that may have been introduced during its transmission or storage. By themselves, checksums are often used to verify data integrity but are not relied upon to verify data authenticity. [1]

  7. MD5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

    MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare the checksum of

  8. Parchive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive

    These indexes contain file hashes that can be used to quickly identify the target files and verify their integrity. Because the index files were so small, they minimized the amount of extra data that had to be downloaded from Usenet to verify that the data files were all present and undamaged, or to determine how many parity volumes were ...

  9. System File Checker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_File_Checker

    In Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10, System File Checker is integrated with Windows Resource Protection (WRP), which protects registry keys and folders as well as critical system files. Under Windows Vista, sfc.exe can be used to check specific folder paths, including the Windows folder and the boot folder.
