What Is a Adler-32 Checksum?

The Adler-32 Checksum tool computes the Adler-32 checksum of a string, outputting an 8-character hexadecimal value. Adler-32 is a checksum algorithm that is faster than CRC-32 but slightly weaker in error-detection ability. It is famously used by the zlib compression library.
