The part that gets me is when he says "this is it" and then adds on, "oh by the way, it can be reversed or started with different initial conditions," and doesn't give a clear answer of what the final way of calculating a CRC32 checksum given all of the changes he just added. Is there a simpler explanation of how CRC32 is calculated?

After doing some research on the CRC-32 algorithm, I got to the following: /* Usage: Recursively call this with previous crc. Start with crc = 0. */ #define POLYNOMIAL 0x04C11DB7 unsigned int crc...

2014年10月17日 · The CRC32 found in zip and a lot of other places uses the polynomial 0x04C11DB7; its reversed form 0xEDB88320 is perhaps better known, being often found in little-endian implementations. CRC32C uses a different polynomial (0x1EDC6F41, reversed 0x82F63B78) but otherwise the computation is the same.

An advantage of CRC32 or MD5 is they can be calculated as the data passes. Reversing the data means you have to store it all buffered until you go back through the bits in reverse order. MD5 is more calculation intensive - more designed for signing a message than checking for errors because CRCs are easier to contrive a set of data that will ...

2017年5月20日 · Of course CRC32 does shifting too, but it only hides the problem under the rug. I.e. it will distribute keys unevenly, there will be heavy clustering at some region. It may appear such hash works fine, until you hit that region, and suddenly your O(1) hash table turns into the O(n) one. CRC32 was designed for detecting damaged files, not hashing.

CRC32 is based on a galois feedback shift register, each bit in its state will be replaced with the induction of 32 bits from the payload data. At the induction of each bit, the positions indicated by the polynomial will be exclusive ored with the sequence observed from the end of …

2017年1月10日 · I have been trying to get my head around CRC32 calculations without much success, the values that I seem to get do not match what I should get. I am aware that Python has libraries that are capab...

I'm trying to calculate/generate the CRC32 hash of some random strings using Python but they do not match the values I generate from online sources. Here is what I'm doing on my PC, >>> import binascii >>> binascii.crc32('hello-world') -1311505829 Another approach, >>> import zlib >>> zlib.crc32('hello-world') -1311505829

2014年9月26日 · The bits are reversed. Note that the table entry for array[0x80] (0x80 is 0x01 reversed) = 0xEDB88320, which is 0x04C11DB7 reversed.

2008年11月20日 · There is support for CRC32, CRC16 and CRC_CCITT thru the use of a define. Also, the code lets the user change parameter settings like the CRC polynomial, initial/final XOR value, and reflection options if you so desire.
