About RIPEMD-160
RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 160-bit hash value, typically rendered as a 40-digit hexadecimal number.
Common uses:
- Bitcoin addresses (combined with SHA-256)
- PGP/GPG fingerprints
- File integrity verification
- Digital signatures
Note: While RIPEMD-160 is still used in Bitcoin, for new applications, SHA-256 or SHA-3 are generally recommended for security-critical use cases.
