MAC
Message authentication code. A mechanism that allows a recipient of a message to determine if a message has been
tampered with. Broadly there are two types of MAC algorithms, one is based on symmetric encryption algorithms and
the second is based on Message Digest algorithms. This second class of MAC algorithms are known as HMAC
algorithms. A DES based MAC is defined in FIPS PUB 113, see http://www.itl.nist.gov/div897/pubs/fip113.htm. For
information on HMAC algorithms see RFC-2104 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2104.txt
Message Digest
A condensed representation of a data stream. A message digest will convert an arbitrary data stream into a fixed size
output. This output will always be the same for the same input stream however the input cannot be reconstructed
from the digest
