Data integrity ensures that data is not altered in transit.
Secure Shell connections use MACs (message authentication codes) to ensure data integrity. The client and server independently compute a hash for each packet of transferred data. If the message has changed in transit, the hash values are different and the packet is rejected. The MAC used for a given session is the MAC highest in the client's order of preference that is also supported by the server.
Reflection for Secure IT supports the following MAC standards:
hmac-sha1
hmac-md5
hmac-sha1-96
hmac-md5-96
hmac-ripemd-160
hmac-sha256
hmac-sha2-256
hmac-sha512
hmac-sha2-512
