ISO/IEC 7064

Numerical Algorithm

ISO/IEC 7064 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission that defines algorithms for calculating check digit characters. It establishes methods for generating verification characters that can detect common data entry errors in alphanumeric strings, including single substitution errors, transposition errors, and circular shift errors.
