java.lang.Object
  extended by 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.
