ripemd and ripemd-128 are considered broken. I don't know if ripemd-x, x>=256 have been used anywhere. Having the SHA-3 winner instead would be a much better choice.
Thanks. The related naming question is: Should the header file be nettle/ripend160.h (declaring the single algorithm ripemd160) or nettle/ripemd.h (declaring all supported hash functions in the family)?
I'd use ripemd160.h to avoid confusion with the broken ripemd.
