# Implementation Plan: CRC-16 Hardware Acceleration |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
## Overview |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
This implementation adds hardware-accelerated CRC-16 support to the crc-fast library in two phases: first extending the key generator, then extending the algorithm module. The implementation leverages the existing CRC-32 infrastructure by scaling CRC-16 values to 32-bit space. |

## Notes |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
- Tasks marked with `*` are optional and can be skipped for faster MVP |
| 133 |
- Each task references specific requirements for traceability |
| 134 |
- Checkpoints ensure incremental validation |
| 135 |
- Property tests validate universal correctness properties |
| 136 |
- Unit tests validate specific examples and edge cases |
| 137 |
- The implementation leverages existing CRC-32 infrastructure to minimize code duplication |
