RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value, often represented as a 40-digit hexadecimal number. It was designed as a secure hash function to provide a unique fingerprint for data, making it useful for various applications in computer security and data integrity.
Context
Some applications include,
Digital Signatures: Used in creating digital signatures by hashing messages before signing them.
File Integrity Checks: Often employed to verify the integrity of files and data, as any change to the input data will result in a different hash.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies: RIPEMD-160 is notably used in Bitcoin for generating addresses from public keys. It is combined with SHA-256 in the address generation process.
