// Interface for public key signing.
// Digital Signatures provide functionality of signing data and verification of
// the signatures. They are represented by a pair of primitives (interfaces)
// 'PublicKeySign' for signing of data, and 'PublicKeyVerify' for verification
// of signatures. Implementations of these interfaces are secure against
// adaptive chosen-message attacks. Signing data ensures the authenticity and
// the integrity of that data, but not its secrecy.
