Suggestion: Change verifyKey function to be pure JS friendly

[solaris7x]

Hello,
The current implementation of verify key function has Buffer as typeof accepted input which are NodeJS specific and require heavy polyfills for pure JS (serverless/service-workers)

We can instead use

import * as ed from "@noble/ed25519"

const verifyKey = async (
  signature: string,
  timestamp: string,
  body: string,
  clientPublicKey: string
) => {
  const message = new TextEncoder().encode(timestamp + body)
  const isVerified = await ed.verify(signature, message, clientPublicKey)
  return isVerified
}

export default verifyKey

Cons:

• change the argument types
• dependent library

Pros:

• now can be used in service-workers or pure JS environment

Another alternative would be to use the SubtleCrypto.verify function.

👀 would love to see an update as well. I've published discord-verify which could be used here for incredible performance benefits and better cross platform compatibility
