Full Desc
"XOR parity data" refers to a particular type of parity data. Parity data refers to one or more bits associated with a string of binary code (set of ordered binary bits). Parity bits, and parity data, may be used as the simplest form of error detecting code. Parity bits, and parity data, may generally be applied to the smallest units of a communication protocol or data being exchanged, typically 8-bit octets (a byte), although parity data can also be applied separately to an entire message string of bits or set of data. (Search "parity bit" on Wikipedia.com May 9, 2020. Modified. Accessed May 20, 2020.)XOR parity data is a particular type of parity data that may be used to leverage a property of an XOR operation in which an XOR operation is its own inverse. XOR parity data may be combined for multiple sets of commonly configured data to enable error correction of the data through a reverse XOR operation. This combining is referred to herein as accumulating XOR parity data (e.g., accumulating XOR parity data).In certain embodiments, XOR parity data may comprise an XOR result from a bitwise XOR operation of a string of binary data being protected and another XOR result or an initial parity data set, such as a set of zeros. XOR parity data may also be used with the XOR binary function to recover a set of data, provided a copy of each data set used to generate an XOR parity data result is available except for the data set being recovered.
