CRC for cross-platform applications

Question

I want to use common CRC logic in a VB.NET or C # application, as well as in a C / Linux application. I have one C / Linux application that interacts with webservice (written in C #), as well as a web application (written in VB.NET). For some data, I want to add CRC to the data itself (say, a file) from the .NET side and check the data integrity (CRC check) on the client, and vice versa.

Can someone guide me?

Answer 1

Since the CRC implementation is single-line, I don’t think you have a problem with this. wikipedia has links to CRC source code in several languages. The only thing you need to care about portability is the end result when you actually store the CRC in a file.

EDIT: indeed, with duplicate code with a single layer will not be a problem.

ReadOnly table As UInt16() = { &H0000, &H1189, ... }
Sub crc_update(ByVal by As System.Byte, ByRef crc As UInt16)
    crc = table(by Xor (crc >> (16 - 8))) Xor (crc << 8)
End Sub

To use a 16-bit CRC other than CCITT, replace the lookup table. For a 32-bit CRC, replace all events 16 with 32 and replace the lookup table.

Answer 2

There are many CRC algorithms, and the main thing is to use them on both sides.

CRC. CRC-32 , , .

- ... C , pycrc, C- CRC, (, 16 32 ).
