The RMD160 functions implement the 160-bit RIPE message digest hash algorithm |
|
|
|
(RMD-160). RMD-160 is used to generate a condensed representation |
|
|
|
of a message called a message digest. The algorithm takes a |

|
|
|
RMD-160 is used to generate a condensed representation |
|
|
|
of a message called a message digest. |
|
|
|
The algorithm takes a |
|
|
|
message less than 2^64 bits as input and produces a 160-bit digest |
|
|
|
suitable for use as a digital signature. |
