Functions

ripemd160

Convenience function that calculates a 160 bits long RIPEMD160 hash

ripemd160()

Return

A lowercase hexadecimal string with the RIPEMD160 hash.

This function takes an arbitrary amount of parameters. See HashBase.update() for details.

The semantics are equal to:

    function ripemd160(...)
        hash = RIPEMD160Hash()
        hash.update(...)
        hash.finalize()
        return hash.toString()
