ripemd320

This Ripemd320 Hash Generator generates ripemd320 hash of a given text. RIPEMD-256 and RIPEMD-320 are extension of RIPEMD-128 which provide same security as RIPEMD-160 and RIPEMD-128 which is designed for application which prefer large hash value rather than more security level. RIPEMD-320 provides provides 320-bit output. Type the text below to generate ripemd320 hash.

About the RIPEMD-320 Hash Generator

The RIPEMD-320 Hash Generator computes the RIPEMD-320 checksum of any text you enter, producing a fixed 320-bit (80 hex character) digest — for example, "hello world" hashes to 0e12fe7d075f8e319e07c106917eddb0135e9a10aefb50a8a07ccb0582ff1fa27b95ed5af57fd5c6. It's the longest-digest member of the RIPEMD family.

Like its RIPEMD-256 sibling, RIPEMD-320's extended output is designed to reduce the chance of accidental collisions rather than proportionally increase resistance to deliberate cryptographic attacks, since its security level remains tied to RIPEMD-160's parameters.

Developers use RIPEMD-320 in specific applications requiring this exact digest length, though it sees limited adoption compared to more common alternatives.

The Longest Member of the RIPEMD Family

RIPEMD-320 was published in 1996 alongside RIPEMD-256, extending RIPEMD-160's dual-pipeline design to a wider internal state for applications wanting a longer output. Similarly to how RIPEMD-256 relates to RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-320's practical security strength against attacks mirrors RIPEMD-160's, with the extra length primarily useful for reducing accidental hash collisions in very large datasets.

Despite its longer output, RIPEMD-320 has never achieved the widespread adoption of RIPEMD-160, which remains the family's most recognized and used member.

How to Use the RIPEMD-320 Hash Generator

  • Algorithm comparison: Compare RIPEMD-320's output against SHA-512 and RIPEMD-160.
  • Academic research: Study the full RIPEMD hash family's design choices.
  • Legacy system compatibility: Match hashes for systems relying on RIPEMD-320.
  • Cryptography education: Learn how longer digests relate to collision resistance.
  • Checksum applications: Use where a longer non-SHA digest format is specified.

RIPEMD-320 Facts

320-Bit Digest
80 hex characters

The longest digest in the RIPEMD family.

RIPE Project
Published in 1996

Extends RIPEMD-160's dual-pipeline design.

Security Tied to 160-Bit
Not proportionally stronger

Longer digest mainly reduces accidental collisions.

Example Output

ripemd320("hello world") = 0e12fe7d075f8e319e07c106917eddb0135e9a10aefb50a8a07ccb0582ff1fa27b95ed5af57fd5c6

Frequently Asked Questions
Is RIPEMD-320 widely used today? +
It's far less commonly used than RIPEMD-160, which remains the RIPEMD family's most recognized and adopted member.
Is there an API for generating hashes? +
Yes. FunGenerators provides a REST API so you can generate RIPEMD-320 hashes programmatically for your own app or project.
Is RIPEMD-320 more secure than RIPEMD-160? +
Not proportionally — RIPEMD-320's security level against deliberate attacks is tied to RIPEMD-160's, even though its output is longer. The extra length mainly reduces accidental collisions.
Is the RIPEMD-320 Hash Generator free to use? +
Yes — completely free, no account or signup required.
When was RIPEMD-320 developed? +
It was published in 1996 alongside RIPEMD-256, extending RIPEMD-160's design to a wider internal state.
How long is a RIPEMD-320 hash? +
Always 320 bits, displayed as 80 hexadecimal characters, the longest digest in the RIPEMD family.
