Released	1996

RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function. The term "RIPEMD-160" can also refer to the family of four hash functions consisting of RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-256, and RIPEMD-320. This article is about the whole RIPEMD-160 family.

The RIPEMD-160 family is the successor of the original RIPEMD hash.
