CRCsjekken
CRCsjekken is a term used in software and data management to refer to a tool or library that performs cyclic redundancy check (CRC) verifications on data blocks. Its primary purpose is to detect accidental changes to raw data during storage or transmission by computing a CRC value from the data and comparing it with a known checksum.
A typical CRCsjekken implementation supports multiple CRC standards, such as CRC-8, CRC-16 (including CCITT and IBM/ANSI
Common use cases include generating a manifest of files with their CRCs, distributing data sets together with
Limitations should be noted: CRCs are powerful for detecting accidental errors but are not cryptographic hashes
