java.lang.Object

java.util.zip.Adler32

All Implemented Interfaces:

Checksum

public class Adler32
extends Object
implements Checksum

A class that can be used to compute the Adler-32 checksum of a data stream. An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC-32 but can be computed much faster.
