A URI-like format for serializing cryptographic objects including keys, signatures, and digests using URI generic syntax:
crypto:pub:key:ed25519:6adfsqvzky9t042tlmfujeq88g8wzuhnm2nzxfd0qgdx3ac82ydqf03cvv
A URI-safe "dasherized" form is also supported:
crypto-pub-key-ed25519-6adfsqvzky9t042tlmfujeq88g8wzuhnm2nzxfd0qgdx3ac82ydqlu986g
The CryptoURI format leverages the URI generic syntax defined in [RFC 3986] to provide simple and succinct encodings of cryptographic keys, including public keys, private/secret keys, encrypted secret keys with password-based key derivation, digital signatures, key fingerprints, and other digests.
Binary data is serialized using the [Bech32] encoding format which is designed to prevent human transcription errors by using an alphabet that eliminates similar-looking characters to avoid transcription errors and adds a checksum across the whole URI to detect these errors when they do happen. CryptoURIs which have been mis-transcribed will fail to decode.
