13/// Signature errors.
14///
15/// This type is deliberately opaque as to avoid sidechannel leakage which
16/// could potentially be used recover signing private keys or forge signatures
17/// (e.g. [BB'06]).
18///
19/// When the `std` feature is enabled, it impls [`std::error::Error`] and
20/// supports an optional [`std::error::Error::source`], which can be used by
21/// things like remote signers (e.g. HSM, KMS) to report I/O or auth errors.
