# For example:

# POST https://VAULT_NAME.vault.azure.net/keys/CERT_NAME/CERT_VERSION/sign?api-version=7.4

# The alg can be one of the following
# ES256  ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256
# ES256K ECDSA using P-256K and SHA-256
# ES384  ECDSA using P-384 and SHA-384
# ES512  ECDSA using P-521 and SHA-512
# PS256  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256
# PS384  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-384 and MGF1 with SHA-384
# PS512  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-512 and MGF1 with SHA-512
# RS256  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256
# RS384  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384
# RS512  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-512

# The sample POST above uses SHA512.  We'll instead sign a SHA256 hash..
