What is CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)?

A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw data. Unlike cryptographic hashes (like SHA-2 or MD5), CRC is designed for speed and error detection, not security.

It works by appending a short check value to the data block, derived from the remainder of a polynomial division of the data contents.

Supported Variants:

CRC32: The standard 32-bit CRC used in Ethernet, ZIP files, and PNG images.
CRC32b: A variant often used in PHP and other specific implementations.
CRC32c: Uses the Castagnoli polynomial, offering better error detection properties and hardware acceleration support in modern CPUs.
CRC16: A 16-bit variant used in legacy protocols and smaller data packets.
