MAC (Message Authentication Code)

A MAC is an Authentication tag (also called a checksum) derived by application of an authentication scheme, together with a secret key, to a message. MACs are computed and verified with the same key so they can only be verified by the intended receiver, unlike digital signatures. MACs can be derived from various cryptographic techniques and Algorithms, such as SHA, MD5, or DES.
