+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions are used to create and verify checksums.
+.Fn krb5_create_checksum
+creates a checksum of the specified data, and puts it in
+.Fa result .
+If
+.Fa crypto
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+.Fa usage_or_type
+specifies the checksum type to use; it must not be keyed. Otherwise
+.Fa crypto
+is an encryption context created by
+.Fn krb5_crypto_init ,
+and
+.Fa usage_or_type
+specifies a key-usage.
+.Pp
+.Fn krb5_verify_checksum
+verifies the
+.Fa checksum ,
+against the provided data.
+.Pp
+.Fn krb5_checksum_is_collision_proof
+returns true is the specified checksum is collision proof (that it's
+very unlikely that two strings has the same hash value, and that it's
+hard to find two strings that has the same hash). Examples of
+collision proof checksums are MD5, and SHA1, while CRC32 is not.
+.Pp
+.Fn krb5_checksum_is_keyed
+returns true if the specified checksum type is keyed (that the hash
+value is a function of both the data, and a separate key). Examples of
+keyed hash algorithms are HMAC-SHA1-DES3, and RSA-MD5-DES. The
+.Dq plain
+hash functions MD5, and SHA1 are not keyed.
