// What does this class do?
// This class generates a hashed version of some text (typically a JSON payload) using a rolling RSA key
// that can then be appended as a header value to do integrity checking on a payload. Given the
// nature of this class and that keys are rolled constantly, this protects the request
// integrity of requests sent to the collector as only the server can sign these requests.
// This keeps accidental misconfigurations of AnythingLLM that leaving port 8888 open from
// being abused or SSRF'd by users scraping malicious sites who have a loopback embedded in a <script>, for example.
// Since each request to the collector must be signed to be valid, unsigned requests directly to the collector
// will be dropped and must go through the /server endpoint directly.
