Mechanisms to verify that files arrive at their destination completely unchanged after a transfer. Common approaches include pre- and post-transfer checksum comparison using MD5, SHA-256, or CRC algorithms, the FTP HASH command (RFC draft), and HTTP ETags or Content-MD5 headers. Transfer integrity checking is critical for software distribution, backup systems, and any scenario where silent data corruption would be harmful.
