RIPEMD-160 hash function (ISO/IEC 10118-3)

RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function. It is intended
to be used as a secure replacement for the 128-bit hash functions
MD4, MD5 and its predecessor RIPEMD
(not to be confused with RIPEMD-128).

Its speed is comparable to SHA-1 and there are no known attacks
against RIPEMD-160.
