EVP_RIPEMD160(3SSL) OpenSSL EVP_RIPEMD160(3SSL)
NAME
EVP_ripemd160 - RIPEMD160 For EVP
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_MD *EVP_ripemd160(void);
DESCRIPTION
RIPEMD-160 is a cryptographic hash function first published in 1996
belonging to the RIPEMD family (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation
Message Digest). This implementation is only available with the legacy
provider.
EVP_ripemd160()
The RIPEMD-160 algorithm which produces a 160-bit output from a
given input.
NOTES
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling this function multiple times and should consider using
EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-RIPEMD160(7) instead. See "Performance" in
crypto(7) for further information.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for details
of the EVP_MD structure.
CONFORMING TO
ISO/IEC 10118-3:2016 Dedicated Hash-Function 1 (RIPEMD-160).
