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.
