Problem
For places like the vote program anza-xyz/agave#9310, public keys are stored as raw bytes rather than as
PubkeyorPubkeyCompressedtypes provided from thesolana-bls-signaturescrate. It would be nice if the crate public interface supports verifying signatures or PoPs by directly interpreting the input from raw bytes.Summary of Changes
Updated the verification functions so that it can interpret public keys, signatures, or PoPs directly from byte arrays. It was pretty simple to do this since we can just implement the
AsPubkey,AsSignature, andAsProofOfPossessiontraits for the fixed size byte arrays.
