    // Sample output:
    // {
    //   "kty": "OKP",
    //   "crv": "Ed25519",
    //   "x": "SE2Kne5xt51z1eciMH2T2ftDQp96Gl6FhY6zSQujiP0",
    //   "d": "O-eRXewadF0sNyB0U9omcnt8Qg2ZmeK3WSXPYgqe570",
    //   "use": "sig"
    // }

    // In the above JWK, x is the public key, y is the private key.
    // Both are 32 bytes and are base64-url encoded.
