This publication specifies a standard to be used by Federal organizations which require that the integrity of computer data be cryptographically authenticated. In addition, it may be used by any organization whenever cryptographic authentication is desired. Cryptographic authentication of data during transmission between electronic components or while in storage is necessary to maintain the integrity of the information represented by the data. The standard specifies a cryptographic authentication algorithm for use in ADP systems and networks. The authentication algorithm makes use of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cryptographic algorithm as defined in Federal Information Processing Standard 46 (FIPS PUB 46).
