Struct Ripemd160 

pub struct Ripemd160 { /* private fields */ }

RIPEMD-160 hasher (ISO/IEC 10118-3). 160-bit output, 64-byte blocks.

Designed by Dobbertin / Bosselaers / Preneel as a counterpart to MD5 / SHA-1, RIPEMD-160 is best known today as the second hash in the Bitcoin address derivation chain (RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(pk))) and in some 2000s X.509 certificates from European CAs that preferred non-NSA-designed hashes. Considered safe but rarely used outside these legacy niches.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Ripemd160

fn clone(&self) -> Ripemd160

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Hasher for Ripemd160

const OUTPUT_LEN: usize = 20

Output size in bytes.

const BLOCK_LEN: usize = 64

Block size in bytes (for HMAC computation).

fn new() -> Self

Create a new hasher instance.

fn update(&mut self, data: &[u8])

Feed data into the hasher (can be called multiple times).

fn finalize(self) -> Vec<u8>

Finalize and return the digest. Consumes the hasher.

fn finalize_into(self, out: &mut [u8])

Finalize into a caller-provided buffer (no allocation).

fn hash(data: &[u8]) -> Vec<u8>

where Self: Sized,

One-shot: hash data and return the digest.
