Research direction

Start with the README's “Sign a JWT” example and review how it refers to storage. Document the steps for generating and distributing the signing key, placing it in storage, signing on one server, and verifying on another. Done means both-server setup steps are clear enough to follow.

Description

Hi

In this example, it is not clear to me how to generate and distribute the signing key and place into storage to sign a JWT (on the server) and verify the JWT (on another server).

It would be very helpful to see more detailed steps.
