Check the help for CHECKSUM:

   >> ? checksum
   USAGE:
       CHECKSUM data /tcp /secure /hash size /method word /key key-value

   DESCRIPTION:
        Returns a CRC or other type of checksum.
        CHECKSUM is a native value.

   ARGUMENTS:
        data -- Data to checksum (Type: any-string)

   REFINEMENTS:
        /tcp -- Returns an Internet TCP 16-bit checksum.
        /secure -- Returns a cryptographically secure checksum.
        /hash -- Returns a hash value
            size -- Size of the hash table (Type: integer)
        /method -- Method to use
            word -- Method (Type: word)
        /key -- Returns keyed HMAC value
            key-value -- Key to use (Type: any-string)

The description "cryptographically secure" means that it is intended
to be infeasably difficult to reverse the computation.
