Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — a full, from-scratch JavaScript implementation of the RIPEMD-160 algorithm (since the Web Crypto API doesn't support it natively), verified to match the official RFC test vectors exactly (e.g. RIPEMD-160('abc') = 8eb208f7e05d987a9b044a8e98c6b087f15a0bfc).

Most notably inside Bitcoin address generation (as part of HASH160 = RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(pubkey))), and in some older PGP/GPG contexts.

It's not known to be broken like MD5 or SHA-1, but SHA-256 is the more common modern default; RIPEMD-160 is mainly relevant when compatibility with a specific system (like Bitcoin) requires it.

No — hashing happens entirely in your browser.
