RIPEMD-160

RIPEMD-160 is a family of cryptographic hash functions, of which only one is actually 160-bit. The term also (and most commonly) means the 160-bit member of this family.

It is the successor of the original RIPEMD hash.

Details
There are four members of the RIPEMD-160 family.


 * RIPEMD-160 family
 * RIPEMD-128 (128-bit; replacement for RIPEMD)
 * RIPEMD-160 (160-bit)
 * RIPEMD-256 (256-bit; optional extension)
 * RIPEMD-320 (320-bit; optional extension)

Software

 * OpenSSL (160-bit: )
