Hash algorithm naming

Hi Adán,

I'm Jason, the co-founder of Tierion, and developer on the Chainpoint team.

I agree that defining a common naming convention when referencing hash algorithms is important. Earlier versions of Chainpoint supported only SHA-2 type hashes and used the common names for those hash types as defined within OpenSSL. When we added support for SHA3, we could no longer rely on OpenSSL definitions alone. It’s great to see that the Named Information Hash Algorithm Registry has been updated include the SHA3 family of hash algorithms. Adopting their naming convention seems like the smart path forward for a future Chainpoint update.
