Signing and verifying messages with BLS keys now complies to the consensus-layer signing domains spec.
In particular, two signing domains are provided:
APPLICATION_BUILDER
andCOMMIT_BOOST
.Signers are able to sign() or verify() messages in both domains explicitly to avoid incurring in inconsistencies.
Note: the beacon-chain specs also define signing over SSZ containers via hash_tree_root. We currently don't do that, and have decided to use our own signing digests that are simpler and don't require deriving SSZ. Since this is an out-of-protocol API we are not required to comply to this restriction.
