  Key Concepts: 
  Value checksum is a security feature in SAP Identity Management (BC-IAM-IDM) that helps to ensure the integrity of data stored in the system. It is a mathematical algorithm that calculates a unique value for each set of data, which can then be used to verify that the data has not been tampered with or changed.
  
  How to use it: 
  Value checksum is used to protect data stored in SAP Identity Management. It works by calculating a unique value for each set of data, which can then be used to verify that the data has not been tampered with or changed. To use value checksum, you must first enable it in the system settings. Once enabled, it will automatically calculate a unique value for each set of data and store it in the system.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using value checksum, it is important to remember that it only works if the data has not been tampered with or changed. If any changes are made to the data, the value checksum will no longer be valid and will need to be recalculated. Additionally, it is important to keep your system settings up-to-date so that value checksum can work properly.
