/* Instead of signing (possibly very long) messages directly, we sign a
* 32-byte hash of the message in this example.
*
* We use secp256k1_tagged_sha256 to create this hash. This function expects
* a context-specific "tag", which restricts the context in which the signed
* messages should be considered valid. For example, if protocol A mandates
* 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). */
