RIPEMD128 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a cryptographic hash function that generates a fixed-size message digest from input data. is a cryptographic function that generates a 128-bit output, known as a hash value. It was created by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers, and Bart Preneel to enhance the RIPEMD-160 algorithm by providing faster performance while preserving a similar level of security. However, it is less commonly used when compared to other algorithms like SHA-256 and SHA-3.
