Description
Just a minor question. When I run hackage-local, the encoding for keys and so on seems to all be in Base64, but [the TUF spec](https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf/blob/develop/docs/tuf-spec.txt) shows everything as hex-encoded.
To avoid future compatibility issues (e.g. a generic Haskell TUF implementation which could be used by other repositories, not just Hackage, and might need to interact with other clients) might it not be better to use the same encoding?
