RIPEMD (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a family of
cryptographic hash functions developed in the early 1990s. RIPEMD is designed
as an alternative to the then-popular MD4 and MD5 algorithms. It produces a
160-bit hash value, which is commonly represented as a 40-digit hexadecimal number.
