EVP_ripemd160(3)                    OpenSSL                   EVP_ripemd160(3)



NAME
       EVP_ripemd160 - RIPEMD160 For EVP

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

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).
