' 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.
