Description

Since the Internet Computer allows canisters to sign Ethereum transactions, there's a need to hash those transactions. This is currently not directly possible in canisters written in Motoko. and a workaround like calling the EVM utility canister has to be used.

In this bounty, you will implement two cryptographic hashing algorithms in Motoko. Keccak-256 is the hashing algorithm used for signing Ethereum transactions. It is similar to the standardized SHA-3 but uses a different padding. Hence, it makes sense to include both variations, although the official SHA-3 is not used in Ethereum.

Acceptance Criteria
