RIPEMD-160

RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest can be abbreviated as RIPEMD, which further contains a group of hash functions such as RIPEMD- 128, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-256, and RIPEMD-320. The version of RIPEMD of 128 bits does not guarantee to preserve the integrity of the message to that extent. RIPEMD with 160 bits provides the network with higher security. The release of RIPEMD with extended versions of 256 bits and 320 bits provides the same security level as the previous version. It can be implemented considering the block associated with the RIPEMD-160 hash algorithm. The integrity of the message can be preserved by splitting the message into blocks of 512 bits by utilizing the compression function.

After that, it can go through two rounds of the considered block (sub-block) using different values of constant k associated with the block
