Hi Richard,

CRC is one of the best methods for integrity checking (more precisely
'detection') of data between web server and web browser.

In any case, like Robert said, HTTPs will do integrity check for the data.

Does anyone know of any tools out there that can be used to ensure the integrity of data while in transit from a web 
app and a user using a website to enter information?

I've heard of Tripwire and ossec but those more for OS or for files at rest.

Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks.
