Possible use cases

• Creating an activation link for users
• Creating a password reset link

Basic Example:

```rust use nobsign::Signer; let signer = Signer::new(b"my secret");

// Let's say the user's ID is 101 let signed = signer.sign("101");

// You can now email this url to your users! let url = format!("http://yoursite.com/activate/?key={}", signed);

// Later check the signature and get the value back let unsigned = signer.unsign(&signed).unwrap(); ```

Example with timestamped signatures

```rust use nobsign::TimestampSigner; let signer = TimestampSigner::new(b"my secret");

// Let's say the user's ID is 101 let signed = signer.sign("101");

// You can now email this url to your users! let url = format!("http://yoursite.com/activate/?key={}", signed);

// In your code, you can verify the expiration: signer.unsign(&signed, 86400).unwrap(); // 1 day expiration ```
