Fixing a Data Error Cyclic Redundancy Check
Cyclic Redundancy Check or CRC is basically a method developed to ensure that data does not become corrupted during transmission. This particular cyclic code was conceived by Wesley Peterson in 1961. The main advantage of this error-correcting code is the fact that it’s much simpler to implement than other methods, and is also well suited for the detection of a number of different error types, particularly burst errors.
