CRC64 Algorithm Analysis and Verification

Paper Abstract

This work analyzes the use of a CRC64 algorithm as a hashing function in the Netflow project. We describe the basis of Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) algorithms and consider properties like collision probability, Hamming distance, and quality of distribution, which are crucial for hashing functions. Lower or upper bounds of these properties are described mathematically. However, to give more precise numbers to hardware designers, we also try to find them using model checking method.
