About Whirlpool

Whirlpool is a cryptographic hash function designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto. It was first published in 2000 and is known for its large 512-bit digest size and high resistance to cryptographic attacks.

Whirlpool is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) structure and uses a 10-round Feistel network. It is one of the few hash functions that provides 256 bits of security, making it suitable for applications requiring a high level of collision resistance.

Note:While Whirlpool is considered secure, modern applications often prefer newer standards like SHA-3. However, Whirlpool remains a viable option for systems requiring backward compatibility or a proven hash function.

Common Use Cases

  • Digital signatures
  • Data integrity verification
  • Password hashing
  • Cryptographic applications requiring high security
  • Backward compatibility with legacy systems
