CRC for PNG file format
- by darkie15
Hi All,
I need to read a PNG file and interpret all the information stored in it and print it in human readable format. While working on PNG, i understood that it uses CRC-32 for generating checksum for each chunk. But I could not understand the following information mentioned on the PNG file specification site:
The polynomial used by PNG is:
x32 + x26 + x23 + x22 + x16 + x12 + x11 + x10 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x + 1
Here is the link for reference:

Can anyone please help me in understanding this?
Regards,
darkie
