HMAC-RIPEMD160 Generator

Generate Hash-based Message Authentication Codes (HMAC) using the RIPEMD-160 algorithm and a secret key.

What is HMAC-RIPEMD160?

HMAC-RIPEMD160 generates a message authentication code using the RIPEMD-160 hash function. RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function, designed in Europe as an alternative to SHA-1.

Usage in Web3

RIPEMD-160 is famously used in Bitcoin's address generation (P2PKH). HMAC-RIPEMD160 is less common in standard web protocols but crucial for specific blockchain and legacy European cryptographic systems.
