About RIPEMD-160
RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function from the RIPEMD family. Considered legacy today, it still appears in systems for backward compatibility (e.g., some blockchain address schemes).
Security Notes
Prefer SHA-2 or SHA-3 for new designs. For passwords, use slow KDFs (bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2, PBKDF2) with unique salts.
