| Basic method of checking data for errors during a transmission or on a data storage mechanism. Parity works by setting a parity bit to an even or odd number. If the binary stream contains eight 0's or 1's, for example, we know that this is an even number; however, if the parity bit indicates that this number should be an odd number we would be able to easily determine that the data is corrupt.
