CBC-MAC (Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code): A cryptographic algorithm used to ensure data authenticity and integrity by utilizing a block cipher in cipher block chaining mode. It processes input data divided into fixed-size blocks, encrypting each block while chaining them together. The output of the final block becomes the message authentication code (MAC), which helps verify the message has not been altered during transmission.
