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:
openssl dgst -ripemd160)
