.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Li RIPEMD160_
|
|
|
|
|
functions calculate a 160-bit cryptographic checksum (digest)
|
|
|
|
|
for any number of input bytes. A cryptographic checksum is a one-way
|
|
|
|
|
hash function; that is, it is computationally impractical to find
|
|
|
|
|
the input corresponding to a particular output. This net result is
|
|
|
|
|
a ``fingerprint'' of the input-data, which doesn't disclose the actual
|
|
|
|
|
input.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Init ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Update ,
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Final
|
|
|
|
|
functions are the core functions. Allocate an RIPEMD160_CTX, initialize it with
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Init ,
|
|
|
|
|
run over the data with
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Update ,
|
|
|
|
|
and finally extract the result using
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Final .
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_End
|
|
|
|
|
is a wrapper for
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Final
|
|
|
|
|
which converts the return value to a 41-character
|
|
|
|
|
(including the terminating '\e0')
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
|
|
|
string which represents the 160 bits in hexadecimal.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_File
|
|
|
|
|
calculates the digest of a file, and uses
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_End
|
|
|
|
|
to return the result.
|
|
|
|
|
If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Data
|
|
|
|
|
calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_End
|
|
|
|
|
to return the result.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
When using
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_End ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_File ,
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn RIPEMD160_Data ,
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar buf
|
|
|
|
|
argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string
|
|
|
|
|
is allocated with
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
|
|
|
and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
|
|
|
|
after use.
|
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar buf
|
|
|
|
|
argument is non-null it must point to at least 41 characters of buffer space.

|
|
|
The core hash routines were implemented by Eric Young based on the

|
|
|
|
published
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RIPEMD160
|
|
|

specification.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
|
|
|
These functions appeared in
|
|

|
|
.Fx 4.0 .
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
No method is known to exist which finds two files having the same hash value,
|
|
|
|
|
nor to find a file with a specific hash value.
|
|
|
|
|
There is on the other hand no guarantee that such a method doesn't exist.
