RIPEMD-160 hash calculator

RIPEMD-160 remains useful for interoperability, but mainstream modern protocols generally prefer SHA-256, SHA-3, BLAKE2, or BLAKE3.

Legacy / specialized 160-bit output 40 hex characters

Practical guidance

About RIPEMD-160

Compatibility with existing formats and specialist systems.

Collision resistance

No practical full collision is assumed here, but ecosystem support and modern analysis are more limited than for current mainstream choices.
