=head1 NAME

EVP_ripemd160
- RIPEMD160 For EVP

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 const EVP_MD *EVP_ripemd160(void);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

RIPEMD-160 is a cryptographic hash function first published in 1996 belonging
to the RIPEMD family (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest).
This implementation is only available with the legacy provider.

=head1 NOTES

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling this function multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_MD-RIPEMD160(7)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
