/// Implements a 32-bit CRC hash algorithm compatible with Zip etc.

/// <remarks>
/// Crc32 should only be used for backward compatibility with older file formats
/// and algorithms. It is not secure enough for new applications.
/// If you need to call multiple times for the same data either use the HashAlgorithm
/// interface or remember that the result of one Compute call needs to be ~ (XOR) before
/// being passed in as the seed for the next Compute call.
