An MD5 checksum is a very reliable way to
verify data integrity. The MD5 algorithm takes a
file of arbitrary length and produces a
128-bit fingerprint of characters and numbers form
that file.
It is proposed that it is computationally
infeasible to produce two messages having the same
output of numbers and characters.
The MD5 method is therefore a popular way of checking
that large files that have been transferred (particularly
when transferring large CD/DVD ISO files by FTP)
have arrived with exactly the same bit data as the
original and Wizbit will often use this method to
verify that a file has arrived intact if a client
wants to upload a large ISO content file to our FTP
space.
The MD5 checksums will need to be produced by both
the sender and receiver of a file and then compared.
An MD5 checksum for a DVD may look something like
this:
If you require some software to assist you with
creating your own MD5 checksums then we would recommend MD5summer which
is very easy to use and free to download.
Our account managers can assist you with creating
and verifying the MD5 checksums if you wish to upload
your CD/DVD content to one of our servers for disc
production. Please just contact
us for further information.
