Hey guys, i need at least 2 different checksum in my code. Is there a lib i can use? i prefer using crc32, md5 and sha1.

The contributions to Crypto++ (except for Mars) are in the public domain, you find all of the mentioned algorithms there.
However, it also depends on what you want. CRC32 and SHA1 (or MD5) don't really compare. One is designed to detect accidential bit errors on a noisy communication channel, and the other is designed to resist malicious modifications to some extent, as well. The algorithms differ hugely in terms of speed, complexity, and hash size.
