/// traffic or a computer file. CRC-32 is one of the most commonly used CRC algorithms.

/// Adler-32 is a checksum algorithm which was invented by Mark Adler.

/// accidental modification of data, such as distortions occurring during a transmission,
/// but is significantly faster to calculate in software.
