    // In order to sign your HTTP requests, you have to add 2 headers to the HTTP request: Digest: the digest of the request payload and Signature: the actual signature of the request.

    // Host: api.ibanity.com
    // Content-Type: application/json
    // Digest: SHA-512=z4PhNX7vuL3xVChQ1m2AB9Yg5AULVxXcg/SpIdNs6c5H0NE8XYXysP+DGNKHfuwvY7kxvUdBeoGlODJ6+SfaPg==

    // Signature: keyId="62f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2e",created=1599659223,algorithm="hs2019",headers="(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key",signature="SjWJWbWN7i0...zsbM="
    // 
    // {"data":{"type":"customerAccessToken", "attributes":{"applicationCustomerReference":"15874569"}}}

    var request_target = "post /xs2a/customer-access-tokens";

    sbSigningString.Append(idempotencyKey);

    // Step 5: Build the signed headers list

    // To allow Ibanity to check the signed headers, you must provide a list of the header names. They should be lowercase and in the same order used to create the signing string. 
    var signed_headers_list = "(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key";

    // Step 6: Build the Signature header

    // This is where the real signing happens. The signature header is a combination of several sub-headers -
    // 
    //     keyId: the identifier for the application's signature certificate, obtained from the Developer Portal
    //     algorithm: the digital signature algorithm used to generate the signature (must be hs2019)
    //     headers: The list of HTTP headers created in step 5
    //     signature: the Base64-encoded digital signature of the signing string created in step 4.
