Method for maintaining data integrity during information transmission by generating indicia representing total number of binary 1's and 0's of the data

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention may be briefly described as an improved method for maintaining the integrity of data transmission between discrete separated data processing system components through generation of selective electronic message identification indicia based upon the nature and content of the message, transmittal of such electronic message identification indicia together with the message and regeneration of such electronic message indentification indicia at the point of message receipt for comparison with the transmitted electronic message identification indicia.
Among the advantages of the subject invention is markedly improved message transmission integrity and security that assures immediate recognition of identity of information content between the transmitted and the received messages.
The primary object of this invention is the provision of an improved method of insuring data transmission integrity between separated data processing system components.
Other objects and advantages of the subject invention will become apparent from the following portions of this specification and from the appended drawings which illustrate, in accordance with the mandate of the patent statutes, a presently preferred embodiment of a method incorporating the principles of this invention.
