Refactoring: signing data using `LocalKey` about aries-askar HOT 4 CLOSED

@andrewwhitehead — could you please weigh in here?

from aries-askar.

Hiya, I believe what you're doing is effectively the same as passing in None for the signature type. In that case the default signature type for that key is chosen.

@andrewwhitehead excuse the lack of my knowledge - you indicate that there might be keys which can be used for variaty of signature types. Is that right?

from aries-askar.

There are keys for which multiple signature types could be supported, for example EdDSA signatures can be deterministic or randomized: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-mattsson-cfrg-det-sigs-with-noise-04.html

At the moment none of the implemented key types support multiple signature types, though.
