Simple Summary

Remove the sha3 function, in favour of only using keccak256

Abstract

Remove the sha3 function, in favour of only using keccak256.

Motivation

keecak256 and sha3 are currently aliases of each, however talking in general and standardised terms keccak256 is not the same function as sha3, therefore the proposal to remove sha3 completely to avoid confusion.

Specification

A call to sha3:

sha3(val)

Will throw a compiler error, with a message "sha3 function has been deprecated in favour of keccak256".

Backwards Compatibility

This change is not backwards compatible.

Dependencies

None
