The RIPEMD128 Class
#include <chnhash/rmd128.hpp>
Overview
The RIPEMD128 class provides an implementation of
Dobbertin, Bosselaers, and Preneel's RIPEMD-128
hashing algorithm [DBP].
The interface to this class is identical to the
MD5
interface (just substitute RIPEMD128 for MD5), so it not
redescribed here. This algoritm is brought to you by the
same people who discovered the weaknesses in MD4 and MD5,
and was strengthened against these attacks. Its
speed is impressive as well, so it may be worth considering
as a substitute to MD5 in new software that does not need
backwards compatability.
