    Abstract: Before sending a message to a destination device, a source device automatically uses a pattern matching algorithm to analyze entropy characteristics of a plaintext version of the message. The pattern matching algorithm uses at least one pattern matching test to generate at least one entropy metric for the message. The source device automatically determines whether the message has sufficiently low entropy, based on results of the pattern matching algorithm. In response to a determination that the message does not have sufficiently low entropy, the source device automatically generates integrity metadata for the message and sends the integrity metadata to the destination device. However, in response to a determination that the message has sufficiently low entropy, the source device sends the message to the destination device without sending any integrity metadata for the message to the destination device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Logic may implement implicit integrity techniques to maintain integrity of data. Logic may perform operations on data stored in main memory, cache, flash, data storage, or any other memory. Logic may perform more than one pattern check to determine repetitions of entities within the data. Logic may determine entropy index values and/or Boolean values and/or may compare the results to threshold values to determine if a data unit is valid. Logic may merge a tag with the data unit without expanding the data unit to create an encoded data unit. Logic may decode and process the encoded data unit to determine the data unit and the tag. Logic may determine value histograms for two or more entities, determine a sum of repetitions of the two or more entities, and compare the sum to a threshold value. Logic may determine that a data unit is valid or is corrupted.

    Abstract: A data processing system includes technology to enable implicit integrity to be used for digital communications. That technology comprises a hardware processor and an implicit integrity engine (IIE) responsive to the processor. For instance, in response to the data processing system receiving a communication that contains a message, the IIE is to automatically analyze the communication to determine whether the message was sent with implicit integrity. If the message was sent with implicit integrity, the IIE is to automatically use a pattern matching algorithm to analyze entropy characteristics of a plaintext version of the message, and to automatically determine whether the message has low entropy, based on results of the pattern matching algorithm and a predetermined entropy threshold. If the message does not have low entropy, the IIE is to automatically determine that the message has been corrupted. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
