Hashes provide succinct commitments to arbitrary data.
Hash(message, key) denotes a keyed BLAKE2b-256 hash.
Hash(message) denotes BLAKE2b-256, the default case when the key is empty.
Substrate primitives (i.e., block hashing) use BLAKE2b-256 as well.
Digital signatures secure different parts of consensus by providing a means of authentication. Currently, we use Schnorr (with the schnorrkel library).
