Note that using CRC checksum is plenty if you are just worried about random corruption caused by hardware errors (i.e., memory bitflips, hard drive hiccups). Using a cryptographic checksum ala tripwire is useful if you are worried about malicious attackers trying to modify files without your noticing. Cryptographic checksums do take more CPU time, though.
