Adler-32
Adler-32 is like a secret code that helps to check if a message is changed or not. Let's say someone is sending you a secret message, but you're worried that someone might have changed the message on the way. Adler-32 helps to make sure that the message you receive is the same as the one that was sent.
It works by adding up all the numbers in the message and then putting them through a special formula. This formula creates a unique number that is like a fingerprint for the message. If someone changes the message, the fingerprint will be different, and you will know that something is not right.
It's kind of like baking cookies. If you add in too much sugar or butter or forget to add the eggs, the cookies won't turn out the same as the recipe intended. Similarly, Adler-32 helps to make sure that the message that was sent is the same as the message you receive, just like the recipe helps to make sure the cookies turn out right.
