Similar packages

Other packages similar to ripemd160

sha1

The sha1 package is another npm package that provides a JavaScript implementation of the SHA-1 hash function. SHA-1 is also a cryptographic hash function but produces a 160-bit hash value, similar in length to RIPEMD-160. However, SHA-1 is considered less secure than RIPEMD-160 due to vulnerabilities that have been discovered over time.

sha256

The sha256 package is used for computing SHA-256 hashes. SHA-256 is part of the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash functions and produces a 256-bit hash. It is more secure than both RIPEMD-160 and SHA-1, but it generates a longer hash value.

md5

The md5 package is a JavaScript implementation of the MD5 hash function. MD5 produces a 128-bit hash value and is widely used for checksums and fingerprints. However, MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use due to its vulnerabilities to collision attacks.
