RIPEMD-160 Overview RIPEMD-160 is a secure hash algorithm, designed by by Dobbertin, Bosselaers, and Preneel. The algorithm takes a message of arbitrary length and produces a 160-bit message digest. Compared to 128-bit hash functions, the 160-bit hash-value of RIPEMD-160 provides increased security against brute-force attacks. RIPEMD-160 and SHA-1 presently appear to be of comparable strength; both are considered stronger than MD5. RIPEMD-160 algorithm is designed to be quite fast on 32-bit machines. RIPEMD-160 was described in H.Dobbertin, A.Bosselaers, and B.Preneel, "RIPEMD-160: a strengthened version of RIPEMD", D.Gollmann, editor, Fast Software Encryption, Third International Workshop (LNCS 1039), 71-82, Springer-Verlag, 1996 CRIPEMD160 Overview | RIPEMD160 API Overview | Type Library Overview | Useful Links | HashCalc
