During communications with openFT partners, openFT as of V8.1 implicitly checks the integrity of the transferred data. The request description data is always checked for integrity. The following applies depending on the options set in the request or via the operating parameters:
In the case of requests with encryption, the integrity of the transferred file contents is also checked.
In the case of requests without encryption, checking of the file contents can be explicitly requested in the order.
If an error is detected, restartable requests attempt a new transfer. Non-restartable requests are aborted.
In this way it is possible to detect and prevent malicious manipulations of the transferred data (e.g. in insecure public networks such as the Internet).
Errors on the physical transfer channels are identified and rectified by the communication system itself. No data integrity check at openFT level is required for this.
