How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12515718 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: RIPEMD Context triple: [RIPEMD-160, family, RIPEMD]
-
A.
RIPEMD-160
RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function designed as an alternative to SHA-1, commonly used for data integrity and security applications.
-
B.
SHA-1
SHA-1 is a now-legacy 160-bit cryptographic hash function once widely used for data integrity and digital signatures but today considered insecure due to practical collision attacks.
-
C.
MD4
MD4 is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ronald Rivest that produces a 128-bit hash value and served as the basis for later algorithms like MD5.
-
D.
Merkle–Damgård construction
The Merkle–Damgård construction is a fundamental method for building collision-resistant cryptographic hash functions from fixed-size compression functions, used in many classic hash algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1.
-
E.
SHA-256
SHA-256 is a widely used cryptographic hash function from the SHA-2 family that produces a 256-bit hash value for securing data integrity and authentication.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
