The '''Data Authentication Algorithm''' ('''DAA''') is a former [[Federal Information Processing Standard|U.S. government standard]] for producing cryptographic [[message authentication code]]s. According to the standard, a code produced by the DAA is called a '''Data Authentication Code''' ('''DAC'''). The algorithm is not considered secure by today's standards.

The DAA is equivalent to [[ISO/IEC 9797-1]] MAC algorithm 1, or [[CBC-MAC]], with [[Data Encryption Standard|DES]] as the underlying cipher, truncated to between 24 and 56 bits (inclusive).
