RIPEMD160Managed Class

Computes the RIPEMD160 hash for the input data using the managed library.

Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function. It is intended for use as a secure replacement for the 128-bit hash functions MD4, MD5, and RIPEMD. RIPEMD was developed in the framework of the EU project RIPE (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation, 1988-1992).

The following code example shows how to encode a file using the RIPEMD160Managed class and then how to decode the file.
