RIPEMD-160 Hash Generator

What is RIPEMD-160

RIPEMD-160 is a cryptographic hash function that takes an input and produces a message digest of 160-bit which is equivalent to 20 bytes. RIPEMD-160 is part of the RIPEMD family of cryptographic hashes. RIPEMD was designed by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers, and Bart Preneel and was first published in year 1992.

RIPEMD-160 hash is composed of 40 hexadecimal characters. It is most often used to verify whether a file is tempered in any form or manner while transmitting from one point to another. The verification is done by comparing the checksum before and after transmission of the file.

Calculating the RIPEMD-160 hash of a string is not something that one can be done manually because hashing a string is a very complex and tedious process. That is where our online RIPEMD-160 hash generator tool comes into play.

We have so many methods and tools available to calculate the RIPEMD-160 hash of a string, but not every online tool gives an accurate result and that is why we have created this online RIPEMD-160 Hash Generator tool. It is a very simple and easy-to-use tool. Most important thing is that it is beginner-friendly.

How to Use RIPEMD-160 Hash Generator Tool

• As you can see, we have 2 input fields and 1 dropdown.
• On the left-hand side, enter a text in the input field.
• On the right-hand side, select RIPEMD-160 from the dropdown. As soon as you perform the selection, the tool will generate the RIPEMD-160 hash of the text and display the result.
