About RIPEMD-160
RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function developed in Europe in 1996 by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers, and Bart Preneel. It was designed as an open alternative to algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1.
How it works: RIPEMD-160 runs two distinct parallel computation lines over the data, then combines their results at the end. This dual-line approach improves resistance to cryptanalysis. The output is 160 bits (40 hexadecimal characters).
RIPEMD-160 is best known for its role in Bitcoin: a Bitcoin address is created by applying RIPEMD-160 to the SHA-256 of a public key (RIPEMD160(SHA256(pubkey))). RIPEMD-160 still has no practical collision attack and remains relevant in the blockchain world.
FAQ
Where is RIPEMD-160 used?
Most notably in Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies to create wallet addresses, usually combined with SHA-256.
How long is a RIPEMD-160 hash?
A RIPEMD-160 hash is 160-bit long (40 karakter heksadesimal / 40 hexadecimal characters).
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The RIPEMD-160 hash is computed entirely in your browser. The text you enter never leaves your device.
