sigh!

This crate supplies everything for dealing with HTTP signatures in ActivityPub:

  • Keypair generation
  • Signing
  • Verification

See the documentation for usage examples.

The OpenSSL crate is used for cryptographic algorithms. The http crate is used as a common denominator interface for many HTTP client and server implementations.

Beware that you must also take care of Digest: headers, using eg. http-digest-headers.
