When signing, a peer will prepare a buffer by concatenating the following:
- The length of the [domain separation string](#domain-separation) string in
bytes, encoded as an [unsigned varint][uvarint]
bytes
- The domain separation string, encoded as UTF-8
- The length of the `typeHint` field in bytes, encoded as an [unsigned
varint][uvarint]
- The length of the `typeHint` field in bytes
- The value of the `typeHint` field
- The length of the `contents` field in bytes, encoded as an [unsigned
varint][uvarint]
- The length of the `contents` field in bytes
- The value of the `contents` field
The length values for each field are encoded as 64-bit unsigned integers in
network order (big-endian).
Then they will sign the buffer according to the rules in the [peer id
spec][peer-id-spec] and set the `signature` field accordingly.
