RIPEMD

RIPEMD (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a family of cryptographic hash functions developed in Leuven, Belgium, by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers and Bart Preneel at the COSIC research group at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and first published in 1996. RIPEMD was based upon the design principles used in MD4, and is similar in performance to the more popular SHA-1. RIPEMD lives in the Hashing category of the fx menu.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Input	string	yes	—	Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.
Size	string	no	320	Choose one of: 320, 256, 160, 128.

Input is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

Returned value

Type	Description
string	Result of the RIPEMD transformation.

Limitations

• This operation treats Input as raw bytes (binary-capable). Non-text payloads may display differently after decoding.

Example

Run RIPEMD

Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set Input to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review Size and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm Output value shows the transformed result.
