Description
Currently, the URL signer implementation in #786 lacks the ability to generate cryptographic signatures for the URL and is not for production use with security requirements.
There are some examples of URL signing on the internet: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/get-api-key#sample-code-for-url-signing
We could adapt these to make this implementation secure.
