That's hardly any stronger than a single 32-bit CRC; I believe that the longer data the more chance to get same CRC/hash for different data sets (if data length > CRC/hash length). Or am I wrong? Having no crc64 implementation (see below) I decided to use 2 CRC32 instead of one - it looked better, without any additional cost (record header is 8 byte aligned anyway, on, mmm, most platform). > it's certainly not what I thought we had agreed to implement. I've asked if anyone can send crc64 impl to me and got only one from Nathan Myers. Unfortunately, SWISS-PROT impl assumes that long long is 8 bytes - is it portable?
