Adler-32 is a checksum algorithm created by Mark Adler, which is primarily used for data integrity verification. It is designed to be fast and efficient while generating a relatively small checksum for a given input of data. Adler-32 computes a checksum by combining the sum of the bytes of the input data into two separate values: `A` and `B`. The final checksum is formed by combining these two values into a 32-bit result.
