A property of secure communications that allows a computer to verify that data has not been modified in transit from its source. For example, Internet Protocol security (IPSec)-protected data contains a cryptographic checksum that incorporates a secret key that is known only to the IPSec peers that are communicating. An intermediate node can modify the data, but without knowledge of the secret key, the node cannot recompute a correct cryptographic checksum.
