CRC
'''C'''yclic '''R'''edundancy '''C'''heck

The CRC is a very powerful but easily implemented technique to obtain data reliability. The CRC technique is used to protect blocks of data called Frames. The CRC is one of the most used techniques for error detection in data communications.

This method is related to the checksum for detecting errors in transmitted data. It is particulary useful for data stored on tape or on disk. CRC methods are also used in the encoding of Compact Disks CD's so as to maje this form of reproduction virtually error fre even in the presence of physical damage to the disk surface.
