Research direction
Start by reading the linked issue about encoding ECDSA keys as PEM strings, then locate the ECDSA key-handling entry point in rust-tuf. Confirm the TUF specification's expected representation and identify the relevant tests; done means ECDSA keys conform to the specification and the behavior is covered by tests.
