66. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC):-

Cyclical Redundancy Check is a type of hash function (one way encryption), which is used to produce a small, fixed-size checksum of a block of data, such as a packet or a computer file. A CRC is computed and appended before transmission or storage, and verified afterwards by the recipient to confirm that no changes have happened in transit.
