Hashing Algorithms
There are many hashing algorithms used throughout the hashgraph and blockchain space as well as some more complex usages which require utilities to facilitate these common operations.
The Hashing Utilities are directly imported from The Ethers Project. The complete documentation can be found in the official ethers docs.

// The value MUST be data, such as:
// - an Array of numbers

namehash and isValidName are removed from hethers.utilsSigned data requires a domain, list of structures and their members and the data itself.
The domain is an object with values for any of the standard domain properties.
The types is an object with each property being the name of a structure, mapping to an array of field descriptions. It should not include the
EIP712Domain property unless it is required as a child structure of anotherCreates a new TypedDataEncoder for types. This object is a fairly low-level object that most developers should not require using instances directly.
Most developers will find the static class methods below the most useful.
Returns the standard payload used by various JSON-RPC
eth_signTypedData* calls.All domain values and entries in value are normalized and the types are verified.
Constructs a directed acyclic graph of the types and returns the root type, which can be used as the primaryType for EIP-712 payloads.

address will have been recursively replaced with the value of calling resolveName with that value.domain = {

When using the Solidity
abi.packEncoded(...) function, a non-standard tightly packed version of encoding is used. These functions implement the tightly packing algorithm.Returns the non-standard encoded values packed according to their respective type in types.
Returns the KECCAK256 of the non-standard encoded values packed according to their respective type in types.
Returns the SHA2-256 of the non-standard encoded values packed according to their respective type in types.
