About RIPEMD128 hash

RIPEMD-128 Hash Description

RIPEMD-128 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically represented as a 32-character hexadecimal number.

How RIPEMD-128 Works:

1. Padding: The input message is padded so that its length is a multiple of 512 bits, leaving space for the message length.
2. Initialization: RIPEMD-128 initializes four variables to specific constants. These variables serve as the initial hash values for the algorithm.
3. Processing Message in Blocks: The padded message is processed in 512-bit blocks. Each block undergoes several rounds of hashing using logical and bitwise operations.
4. Final Hash Value: After processing all blocks, the resulting 128-bit hash value is the RIPEMD-128 hash of the input message.

RIPEMD-128 is designed to provide cryptographic security and is used in various applications where a shorter hash length is sufficient for data integrity and message authentication.
