     * to use the tag "my_fancy_protocol" and protocol B mandates to use the tag
     * "my_boring_protocol", then signed messages from protocol A will never be
     * valid in protocol B (and vice versa), even if keys are reused across
     * protocols. This implements "domain separation", which is considered good
     * practice. It avoids attacks in which users are tricked into signing a
     * message that has intended consequences in the intended context (e.g.,
     * protocol A) but would have unintended consequences if it were valid in
     * some other context (e.g., protocol B). */
