!!! Overview [{$pagename}] ([CRC]) is an [error]-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw [data]. [Blocks] of [data] entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents. On retrieval, the calculation is repeated and, in the event the check values do not match, corrective action can be taken against [data] corruption. [{$pagename}] is used to verify [data] [integrity] [{$pagename}] which used within a [Cipher Suite] is used as well as perform a check that [decryption] with the provided secret key was successful. !!
