Frequently asked questions

What is Adler-32?

A checksum invented by Mark Adler for zlib. It sums bytes in two running totals, making it faster than CRC32 but slightly weaker.

Where is Adler-32 used?

Inside the zlib/DEFLATE format and PNG image streams to detect data corruption.

Is Adler-32 good for short data?

It is weak for very short messages because the sums stay small, so CRC32 is preferred when detecting tiny changes matters.
