The idea here is to rotate the ed25519 keys for the signatures of our tokens. In this way we achieve greater security and unpredictability with asymmetric signature.
First, let's assemble our containers.
// Dockerfile
FROM golang:1.20-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY go.* .
RUN go mod tidy
COPY . .
RUN go build -buildvcs=false -ldflags '-s -w' -o ./bin ./cmd/guardian

The key server module will be responsible for setting the last key id, generating the tokens with the last generated key, and rotating the keys in the given interval.
The kid is the identifier of the key in question. Every time we generate a token we will use the last key stored in redis. Our ks.Start() worker in the main file will rotate keys every 5 minutes.

The POST /api/v1/tokens route will generate a token with the claims defined in the body sent (JSON). And the GET /api/v1/tokens route will only act as a validator for us to test our tokens.
The token is signed with a private ed2559 key and validated with the public key of that same key.
