Description

We recently switch from EdDSA to ECDSA, but there's no reason we can't (and shouldn't) support both in this reference implementation.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing ECDSA implementation and its tests in the repository, then trace how rate-limited tokens are created and verified. Done means the reference implementation supports both ECDSA and EdDSA without removing current ECDSA behavior, with tests covering each algorithm.
