If unit="byte" or unit is omitted (default = byte), then congruence can be checked.Found entity size element with value of 37073 and size unit specified as 'byte'.Examining the entity size is prep for checking congruence.

In addition, PASTA is planning to compare the contributor-supplied checksum/hash value documented in the physical/authentication element to the checksum/hash value of this entity downloaded from previous revisions of this data package. If PASTA already has a copy of this entity, it will be able to avoid an unnecessary download of the entity from your site, resulting in faster processing of the new data package revision when you update it in PASTA.Add a physical/authentication element and store the entity checksum or hash value in it using a method such as MD5 or SHA-1.

Warn if an entity does not have a physical/authentication element, or if none of the physical/authentication elements specify a method attribute with a value of MD5 or SHA-1.At least one physical/authentication element with a method attribute specifying MD5 or SHA-1 and containing a checksum or hash value that can be used to perform an integrity check on the data.truePASTA will use this value to check the integrity of the data it downloads from your site. In addition, PASTA is planning to compare the contributor-supplied checksum/hash value documented in the physical/authentication element to the checksum/hash value of this entity downloaded from previous revisions of this data package. If PASTA already has a copy of this entity, it will be able to avoid an unnecessary download of the entity from your site, resulting in faster processing of the new data package revision when you update it in PASTA.Add a physical/authentication element and store the entity checksum or hash value in it using a method such as MD5 or SHA-1.
