EVP_ripemd1603ssl
Ripemd160 for evp
Usage
#include <openssl/evp.h>const EVP_MD *EVP_ripemd160(void);
Overview
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.
