Description

Create Python objects that calculate CRC checksums for different widths and polynomials. It helps developers verify accidental data changes in protocols, files, firmware records, or embedded communication formats.

This is an integrity helper, not a security mechanism. CRC checks are useful for catching corruption, but they do not prevent intentional tampering and should not replace cryptographic hashes or signatures.
