Fiber Channel Standard + Frame Check Sequence
Frame Check Sequence. Data added to a Frame to allow receiver to detect errors. A more powerful variant of the pparity bit added to a 7 bit ASCII character. A frame check sequence provides this using algorithms related to encryption which generate a message hash which is appended to the message. The algorithm can then be performed again on reception and the result compared with the received message hash to suggest strongly that the message is valid. One widely used category of FCS is the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check). FCS techniques are similar to those used for data integrity in m-commerce and e-commerce.
