Question A-005-008-008

Which algorithm may be used to create a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)?

Correct Answer

Hash function

Explanation

A CRC is a type of hash function. It takes an input data stream of any length and produces a fixed-size string of bits (the checksum), with the property that small changes to the input data typically result in different hash values, used for error detection.
