What does CCITT stand for?


In the context of the 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC-16) CCITT algorithm, which uses the generator polynomial x¹⁶ + x¹² + x⁵ + 1, what does "CCITT" stand for? I can't seem to find this initialism written out in full.


Solution

  • CCITT stands for Consultative Committee for International Telephony and Telegraphy, which has now become the ITU-T.
