Definition
n. Stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check. A way for computers to check if data has been changed or damaged during a transfer. It works like a digital fingerprint for a file.
n. Abbreviation for Cyclic Redundancy Check. An error-detecting code used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw data. It involves a mathematical calculation that produces a short, fixed-length check value based on the contents of a data block.
Examples

“Network protocols use a CRC to ensure that packets of data arrive without any corruption from electrical interference.”
“If the calculated checksum does not match the value stored in the file header, the system reports a CRC mismatch and requests a retransmission of the corrupted data block.”
