RIPEMD160_Init3ssl
Ripemd-160 hash function
Usage
#include <openssl/ripemd.h>The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
unsigned char *RIPEMD160(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,unsigned char *md);int RIPEMD160_Init(RIPEMD160_CTX *c);int RIPEMD160_Update(RIPEMD160_CTX *c, const void *data, unsigned long len);int RIPEMD160_Final(unsigned char *md, RIPEMD160_CTX *c);
Overview
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_DigestInit_ex(3), EVP_DigestUpdate(3) and EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3).
RIPEMD-160 is a cryptographic hash function with a 160 bit output.
RIPEMD160() computes the RIPEMD-160 message digest of the n bytes at d and places it in md (which must have space for RIPEMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely stored in memory:
RIPEMD160_Init() initializes a RIPEMD160_CTX structure.
RIPEMD160_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (len bytes at data).
RIPEMD160_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have space for RIPEMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output, and erases the RIPEMD160_CTX.
Return values
RIPEMD160() returns a pointer to the hash value.
RIPEMD160_Init(), RIPEMD160_Update() and RIPEMD160_Final() return 1 for success, 0 otherwise.
Note
Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead of calling these functions directly.
