About RIPEMD-160
- RIPEMD-160 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value
- Developed in 1996 by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers, and Bart Preneel
- Designed as a more secure alternative to MD4 and MD5
- Creates a 40-character hexadecimal hash string
- Commonly used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for transaction hashing
- Resistant to collision attacks, though not as widely used as SHA-256 in modern applications
- Serves as an alternative to SHA-1 when a 160-bit hash is required
