RIPEMD-160 Hash Generator

Generate RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) hashes for text or files.

What is RIPEMD-160?

RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function. It was designed in the open academic community and is intended as a secure replacement for the 128-bit hash functions MD4 and MD5.

Security Note

RIPEMD-160 is widely used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for generating addresses. While older than SHA-2, it remains robust against known attacks and is still considered secure for many applications.
