Talk:Simple file verification
- What if all files where transmitted correctly, but not the corresponding SFV file, therefore raising a false-positive transmission error?
- What if files got corrupted and so did the SFV file - in such a way that the corrupted checksum happens to be the correct checksum for the corrupted files, therefore passing the files as false-negative valid files?
- What if the files were edited maliciously and so was the SFV file to look as if the files were authentic?
So to speak, in its pure form, SFV does neither add to integrity nor authentity of files, at least not as much as this article currently promises. --Abdull 20:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
