✨ EVP_MD-RIPEMD160 ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the RIPEMD160 manual from the OpenSSL docs (it's a section 7SSL page, so it's a topic page, not a command — no cap). It's short, it's sweet, and it's literally just telling you how this digest shows up through the EVP_MD API. Let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

EVP_MD-RIPEMD160 — the RIPEMD160 EVP_MD implementation. that's it, that's the whole name section, she's concise 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. This page is the documentation for computing RIPEMD160 digests through the EVP_MD API. That's the WHOLE vibe — it's a note that this algorithm is wired up into the EVP digest machinery, iykyk 🔥

🎀 Identities 🎀

This implementation is out here living in both the default provider and the legacy provider — dual citizenship, main character energy 👑

And here's the part you actually need: you can identify it by any of these names. Like, any of them. Pick your fave:

  • "RIPEMD-160"
  • "RIPEMD160"
  • "RIPEMD"
  • "RMD160"

Four names, one algorithm. she contains multitudes 🦋

💜 Gettable Parameters 💜

This implementation supports the common gettable parameters — and those are described over in EVP_MD-common(7). So if you're like "wait what params can I even get", bestie the answer is in that other page, go read it 💖 (no extra params are invented here, don't come for me)

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

go read your sisters, they're all iconic:

📜 HISTORY 📜

This digest was added to the default provider in OpenSSL 3.0.7. so if you're on anything older than that and wondering why it's not showing up... that's why, bestie 😭

okay that's the whole page, short and slay ✨ this was EVP_MD-RIPEMD160(7SSL) from OpenSSL, version 4.0.3, dated 2026-09-29 — mwah, go forth and digest responsibly 💅🫶
