Which log checksum algorithms are supported by FortiAnalyzer?

FortiAnalyzer supports the MD5 and MD5-auth checksum algorithms for logging purposes. These algorithms are utilized to ensure data integrity by generating unique hash values for the logs. The MD5 algorithm is well-known for creating a 128-bit hash value from input data, and its variant, MD5-auth, is designed specifically for use in authenticated logging scenarios.

Using these algorithms allows FortiAnalyzer to verify that the logs have not been tampered with after being generated. This is critical for maintaining accurate and trustworthy log data, which is essential for effective security analysis and incident response.

Options that mention SHA256-auth, SHA256, AES, or DES do not correctly represent the supported checksum algorithms for FortiAnalyzer in this context. While SHA256 is a strong hashing algorithm, it is not utilized for log checksums within FortiAnalyzer in the same manner as MD5 and MD5-auth. Additionally, AES and DES are encryption algorithms, not checksum algorithms, which further clarifies why they are not applicable here.
