Q

What is a parity check?

A

Protects against unwanted modifications on transmitted data.

Parity checking is a method wherein the number of bits in the total number of bytes in a transmitted
message is added up. Then, a zero or a one is added to make the parity even or odd. If and when a
transmitted message is modified and the number of bits has changed, the system detects this and
triggers a resending of the message.

Parity checking comes in handy to keep the transmitted data safe.
