* `date`: The time the signature was generated.
* `expires`: The number of seconds the signature remains valid after being generated.
* `signer`: A nested object describing the "identity" (aka "principal" or "signer") that generated the signature:
- ** `nickname`: A brief human-readable name for this identity. It can't be trusted to mean anything or be unique; it’s just a convenience for use when inspecting the signature, or for using as a default display-name in a UI.

- ** `publicKey`: The actual public key that uniquely identifies the signer. It's composed of sub-fields: `algorithm` identifies the type of key, `bits` is the number of bits in the key, and `data` is the base64-encoded key data itself.
