This class provides a slightly modified implementation of the Fernet spec
found at: https://github.com/fernet/spec/blob/master/Spec.md

eight byte TIMESTAMP field at the start of each token. These fields are
not relevant to Reticulum. They are therefore stripped from this
implementation, since they incur overhead and leak initiator metadata.
