// If so, it will check if the domain that signed the request is permitted to access the server, using the provided isURIBlocked function.
//
// If it is permitted, the handler will set the key verifier and the signature in the gin context for use down the line.
//
// If the domain is blocked, the middleware will abort the request chain instead with http code 403 forbidden.
//
// In case of an error, the request will be aborted with http code 500 internal server error.
