ripemd160

Calculates the RIPEMD-160 hash of a byte array or hex value. This hash function is used in Bitcoin address generation.

Import

import "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/utils/hash"

Usage

import "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/utils/hash"

// Hash bytes
h := hash.Ripemd160([]byte("hello world"))
// "0x98c615784ccb5fe5936fbc0cbe9dfdb408d92f0f"

// Hash hex string
h = hash.Ripemd160("0x68656c6c6f20776f726c64")
// "0x98c615784ccb5fe5936fbc0cbe9dfdb408d92f0f"

// Hash string (UTF-8)
h = hash.Ripemd160("hello world")
// "0x98c615784ccb5fe5936fbc0cbe9dfdb408d92f0f"

// Get raw bytes
bytes := hash.Ripemd160Bytes([]byte("hello world"))
// []byte{...}

Returns

• Type: string for Ripemd160, []byte for Ripemd160Bytes

The hashed value. Ripemd160 returns a hex string with 0x prefix, Ripemd160Bytes returns raw bytes.

Parameters

value (required)

• Type: any (supports []byte or string)

The hex value or byte array to hash. If a string is provided without 0x prefix, it's treated as UTF-8.

// Hash bytes
hash := hash.Ripemd160([]byte("hello"))

// Hash hex string
hash = hash.Ripemd160("0x68656c6c6f")

// Hash UTF-8 string
hash = hash.Ripemd160("hello")

Functions

Ripemd160

Computes RIPEMD-160 hash and returns a hex string:

hash := hash.Ripemd160([]byte("hello"))
// "0x108f07b8382412612c048d07d13f814118445acd"

Ripemd160Bytes

Computes RIPEMD-160 hash and returns raw bytes:

bytes := hash.Ripemd160Bytes([]byte("hello"))
// []byte{0x10, 0x8f, 0x07, ...}
