Description: Data integrity verification is a fundamental process in the field of cybersecurity that is used to ensure that data has not been altered or corrupted during storage or transmission. This process involves the use of algorithms and techniques that allow for the detection of any unauthorized modifications to the data. Data integrity is crucial in various applications, especially in environments where the accuracy and reliability of information are essential, such as in financial systems, databases, and communications. Integrity verification can be carried out using checksums, cryptographic hashes, and digital signatures, which provide a method to validate that the original data remains intact. In the context of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, integrity verification becomes increasingly relevant, as the proliferation of connected devices and the speed of data transmission increase the risk of attacks and manipulations. Therefore, implementing robust integrity verification mechanisms is essential to protect the confidentiality and availability of information in these advanced technological environments.
