Everything about Verhoeff algorithm
Decimal error detection code
The Verhoeff algorithm is a checksum for error detection first published by Dutch mathematician Jacobus Verhoeff in 1969. It was the first decimal check digit algorithm that detects all single-digit errors, and all transposition errors involving two adjacent digits, which was at the time thought impossible with such a code.
