Is echo checking normally used in any modern systems?


I know that echo checking is not considered as a good mechanism. However, I want to know whether are systems even today which use it?

Edit:

Actually, this was a part of my homework but I couldn't find much resources online on this so asking here.


Solution

  • Terminals often use local echo, but remote echo can be turned on and is in this sense echo checking. Check out this paper on telnet:
