96Crypt does not use any Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC) in its EnCryption / DeCryption Process.
With 96Crypt, the user-provided secret passwords are only processed with HASH functions where multiple
HASH/SALT rounds are applied to render a key with the adequate key-length that meets the highest
level of security.
Unlike HASH functions that are not so commonly available in software programs, CRC file checking
utilities can be found in various programs available on the net. But all these programs have only
implemented the CRC16 (BISYNCH) and the CRC32 (AUTODIN II) protocols.
It is important to mention that the forging process, which shows how easily any "desired" CRC16/CRC32
value can be imposed on a given file, is NOT implemented in any other software program.
96Crypt, not only implements 5 known CRC protocols, but also provides in its registered version
a feature to forge files and apply any desired CRC16 or CRC32 value. This is irrevocable proof of
the weakness of the usage of a single CRC protocol for file integrity authentication/validation.
