  • Patent number: 11567825
    Abstract: First and second data are identified, such that the second data is based on a modification operation performed on the first data. First error-checking data comprising a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) value of the first data is identified. Incremental error-checking data is generated based on a difference between the first data and the second data. Updated first error-checking data is generated based on a combination of the first error-checking data and the incremental error-checking data. The updated first error-checking data is compared to second error-checking data generated from a CRC value of the second data to determine whether the second data contains an error.
