.Sh DESCRIPTION
The RMD160 functions implement the 160-bit RIPE message digest hash algorithm
(RMD-160).
RMD-160 is used to generate a condensed representation
of a message called a message digest.
The algorithm takes a
message less than 2^64 bits as input and produces a 160-bit digest
suitable for use as a digital signature.
.Pp
The RMD160 functions are considered to be more secure than the
.Xr md5 3
functions and at least as secure as the
.Xr sha1 3
function.
All share a similar interface.
.Pp
The
.Fn RMD160Init
function initializes a RMD160_CTX
.Ar context
for use with
.Fn RMD160Update ,
and
.Fn RMD160Final .
The
.Fn RMD160Update
function adds
.Ar data
of length
.Ar nbytes
to the RMD160_CTX specified by
.Ar context .
.Fn RMD160Final
is called when all data has been added via
.Fn RMD160Update
and stores a message digest in the
.Ar digest
parameter.
.Pp
The
.Fn RMD160Pad
function can be used to apply padding to the message digest as in
.Fn RMD160Final ,
but the current context can still be used with
.Fn RMD160Update .
.Pp
The
.Fn RMD160Transform
function is used by
.Fn RMD160Update
to hash 512-bit blocks and forms the core of the algorithm.
Most programs should use the interface provided by
.Fn RMD160Init ,
.Fn RMD160Update
and
.Fn RMD160Final
instead of calling
.Fn RMD160Transform
directly.
.Pp
The
.Fn RMD160End
function is a front end for
.Fn RMD160Final
which converts the digest into an ASCII
representation of the 160 bit digest in hexadecimal.
.Pp
The
.Fn RMD160File
function calculates the digest for a file and returns the result via
.Fn RMD160End .
If
.Fn RMD160File
is unable to open the file a NULL pointer is returned.
.Pp
.Fn RMD160FileChunk
behaves like
.Fn RMD160File
but calculates the digest only for that portion of the file starting at
.Fa offset
and continuing for
.Fa length
bytes or until end of file is reached, whichever comes first.
A zero
.Fa length
can be specified to read until end of file.
A negative
.Fa length
or
.Fa offset
will be ignored.
.Pp
The
.Fn RMD160Data
function
calculates the digest of an arbitrary string and returns the result via
.Fn RMD160End .
.Pp
For each of the
.Fn RMD160End ,
.Fn RMD160File ,
and
.Fn RMD160Data
functions the
.Ar buf
parameter should either be a string of at least 41 characters in
size or a NULL pointer.
In the latter case, space will be dynamically allocated via
.Xr malloc 3
and should be freed using
.Xr free 3
when it is no longer needed.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The follow code fragment will calculate the digest for
the string
.Dq abc
which is
.Dq 0x8eb208f7e05d987a9b044a8e98c6b087f15a0bfc .
.Bd -literal -offset indent
RMD160_CTX rmd;
u_int8_t results[RMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH];
char *buf;
int n;

buf = "abc";
n = strlen(buf);
RMD160Init(&rmd);
RMD160Update(&rmd, (u_int8_t *)buf, n);
RMD160Final(results, &rmd);

/* Print the digest as one long hex value */
printf("0x");
for (n = 0; n < RMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH; n++)
	printf("%02x", results[n]);
putchar('\en');
.Ed
.Pp
Alternately, the helper functions could be used in the following way:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
RMD160_CTX rmd;
u_int8_t output[RMD160_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH];
char *buf = "abc";

printf("0x%s\en", RMD160Data(buf, strlen(buf), output));
