Luhn Algorithm

Created by IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn
Simple checksum formula used to validate
identification numbers
Many extensions

Classical Algorithm Logic





Double the value of every second digit counting from the
check digit
Sum all the digits
Mod 10
XXXXXXXXXXXXX Y
X = account number, Y = check digit
2
Luhn Algorithm
Strengths and Weaknesses




3
Detect single-digit error
Almost all transposition of adjacent digits except 09 and
90
Detect some twin errors
Credit Card Verification

Credit Card pattern 8267 1232 7351 0569

Example:
16-bit Credit Card = Codeword

4

Double every other number, starting with the second
number in from the right

If a number has two digits, add both digits together
Credit Card Verification
5

Add all numbers together

If last digit is a zero, it is a valid credit card number. If
not, the credit card number is a fake.
HKID Verification

HK digit pattern X9999999/X999999(C)

Each letter matches to a corresponding number

HKID Verification
Example: C546234(5)
8-bit HKID = Codeword
First 7-bit = Message
Last bit = Check Bit




CheckSum
=char[1]*8+char[2]*7+char[3]*6+char[4]*5+char[5]*4+cha
r[6]*3+char[7]*2
=3(C)*8+5*7+4*6+6*5+2*4+3*3+4*2
=138
Check Bit
=11-(CheckSum mod 11) = 11-(138mod11)
=5
C546234(5) is a valid HKID.
7
HKID Verification
Assume a single error is represented by e
Example: C546e34(5)
CheckSum
=char[1]*8+char[2]*7+char[3]*6+char[4]*5+e*4+cha
r[6]*3+char[7]*2
=3(C)*8+5*7+4*6+6*5+e*4+3*3+4*2
=130+4e
Check Bit
=11-(CheckSum mod 11)
=11-(130+4e)mod11=11-(9+4e)mod11
8
HKID Verification
If Check Bit == 5
=>11-(9+4e)mod11 = 5
=>(9+4e)mod11 = 6
=>9+4e = 11n+6 n is an positive integer
=>e = (11n-3)/4
