  1. Identification Numbers and Check Digit Schemes: Using AbstractAlgebra in Your High School Mathematics Class Joseph Kirtland Department of Mathematics Marist College

  2. Check Digit Schemes • Goal: To catch errors when identification numbers are transmitted. • Append an extra digit using mathematical methods. • There are schemes that append two or more digits...error correcting schemes.

  3. Common Error Patterns

  4. Modular Arithmetic x (mod n ) = r where r is the remainder when x is divided by n (n is a positive integer and 0 ≤ r ≤ n-1). x = y (mod n) if x and y have the same remainder when divided by n.

  5. Modular Arithmetic • 51 (mod 9) = 6 (51=5•9+6) • 213 (mod 10) = 3 (213=21•10+3) • 143 (mod 11) = 0 (143=13•11+0) • 57 = 107 (mod 10) • 3 = 43 (mod 10) • 60 = 0 (mod 10)

  6. US Postal Money Order

  7. US Postal Money Order General Form: a1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a10a11 a11 = (a1+ a2+ a3+ a4+ a5+ a6+ a7+ a8+ a9 + a10) (mod 9) Specific Number: 67021200988 8 = (6 + 7 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 + 8) (mod 9) = 35 (mod 9) = 8

  8. Single digit error (a→ b): 10 choices for a and 9 choices for b resulting in 90 possible ways. Transposition error (ab→ ba): 10 choices for a and 9 choices for b resulting in 90 possible ways. Detection Rate

  9. US Postal Money Order a11 = (a1+ a2+ a3+ a4+ a5+ a6+ a7+ a8+ a9 + a10) (mod 9)

  12. UPC and EAN

  13. UPC Version A General Form: a1-a2a3a4a5a6-a7a8a9a10a11-a12 a1 - number system char. // a2a3a4a5a6 - company // a7a8a9a10a11 - product // a12 - check digit 3a1+a2+3a3+a4+3a5+a6+3a7+a8+3a9+a10+3a11+a12 = 0 (mod 10) Specific Number: 0-53600-10054-0 30+5+33+6+30+0+31+0+30+5+34+0 = 0 (mod 10) 40 = 0 (mod 10)

  14. UPC Scheme – Single Digit Errors …a… → …b… c + 3a = 0 (mod 10) & c + 3b = 0 (mod 10) (c + 3a) – (c + 3b) = 0 (mod 10) 3a – 3b = 0 (mod 10) 3(a – b) = 0 (mod 10) a – b = 0 (mod 10) a = b

  15. UPC Scheme – Transposition Errors …ab… → …ba… c +3a+b = 0 (mod 10) & c+3b+a = 0 (mod 10) (c + 3a + b) – (c + 3b + a) = 0 (mod 10) 3a + b – 3b – a = 0 (mod 10) 2a – 2b = 0 (mod 10) 2(a – b) = 0 (mod 10) Undetected when |a – b| = 5

  17. IBM Scheme

  18. Permutations S10 - permutations of the set {0, 1, 2, …, 9} - one-to-one & onto mappings

  19. IBM Scheme General Form: a1a2a3 . . . an-1an  = (0)(1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5)(3,6)(9) n-even: (a1) + a2 + (a3) + a4 + . . . + (an-1) + an = 0 (mod 10) n-odd: a1 + (a2) + a3 + (a4) + . . . + (an-1) + an = 0 (mod 10)

  20. IBM Scheme Specific Number: 00001324136 9 (0)+0+(0)+0+(1)+3+(2)+4+(1)+3+(6)+9 = 0 (mod 10) 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 9 = 0 (mod 10) 30 = 0 (mod 10)

  21. IBM Scheme – Single Digit Errors …a… → …b… c + σ(a) = 0 (mod 10) & c + σ(b) = 0 (mod 10) (c + σ(a)) – (c + σ(b)) = 0 (mod 10) σ(a) – σ(b) = 0 (mod 10) σ(a) – σ(b) = 0 σ(a) = σ(b) a = b

  22. IBM Scheme Transposition Errors …ab… → …ba… c+σ(a)+b = 0(mod 10) & c+σ(b)+a = 0 (mod 10) (c + σ(a) + b) – (c + σ(b) + a) = 0 (mod 10) σ(a) – σ(b) + b – a = 0 (mod 10) σ(a) – a = σ(b) – b (mod 10) σ designed so this will not occur unless a = 0 and b = 9 or a = 9 and b = 0.

  23. IBM Scheme Single Digit Errors: Transposition Errors:

  24. Theorem (Gumm, 1985) Suppose an error detecting scheme with an even modulus detects all single digit errors. Then for every i and j there is a transposition error involving positions i and j that cannot be detected.
