What is Message Authentication Code?

Understanding Message Authentication Code

Message Authentication Code (MAC) is a cryptographic checksum that is generated by applying a secret key to a message. It is used to verify the integrity and authenticity of transmitted data. A MAC ensures that a message has not been altered or tampered with during transmission and provides a way to authenticate the sender of the message.
