/**
 * Verifier process

 *
 * This is just an asynchronous implementation of a verifier for a
 * signed key, because Node.js's crypto functions are synchronous,
 * strangely, considering how everything else is asynchronous.
 *
 * I wrote this one day hoping it would help with performance, but
 * I don't think it had any noticeable effect.
