+CRC-32 is a cyclic redundancy check algorithm that produces a 32-bit checksum.
+It is widely used for error detection in network transmissions and file integrity
+checks (ZIP, PNG, gzip, etc.). This implementation uses the reflected polynomial
+0xEDB88320 with a precomputed 256-entry lookup table.
