RIPEMD-160 Hash Generator

Generate RIPEMD-160 cryptographic hashes instantly in your browser. RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a 160-bit hash function commonly used in Bitcoin address generation, PGP fingerprints, and legacy authentication systems. This tool computes hashes client-side for maximum privacy — your data never leaves your browser.

How to Use

Enter or paste your text into the input field. The RIPEMD-160 hash is computed automatically as you type. You can optionally paste an expected hash value to verify whether it matches the computed result. Use the copy button to quickly copy the hash output to your clipboard.

Features

Instant Hashing – Results update in real-time as you type
Hash Verification – Compare computed hash against an expected value
Client-Side Processing – All computation happens in your browser, ensuring data privacy
One-Click Copy – Quickly copy the hash result to your clipboard

 FAQ

What is RIPEMD-160 used for?

RIPEMD-160 is widely used in cryptocurrency systems, most notably in Bitcoin address generation where it is applied after SHA-256 to create shorter, more manageable addresses. It is also used in PGP key fingerprints and some legacy authentication protocols.
Is RIPEMD-160 still considered secure?

RIPEMD-160 provides 160-bit security and no practical collision attacks have been published against the full algorithm. However, for new applications, SHA-256 or SHA-3 are generally recommended. RIPEMD-160 remains secure for its existing use cases, particularly in Bitcoin.
How does RIPEMD-160 differ from MD5 and SHA-1?

RIPEMD-160 produces a 160-bit hash (same as SHA-1) but uses a different internal structure with two parallel computation paths that are combined at the end. Unlike MD5 (128-bit) and SHA-1, RIPEMD-160 has not been practically broken by collision attacks.
