The algorithm described is specifically designed for high-speed authentication using a mainframe computer. It is also suitable for use with a programmable calculator. It works on the principle of a Message Authentication Code (MAC), a number sent with a message, so that a check can be made by the receiver of the message that it has not been altered since it left ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
