Your signature generation function will look something like this:
```
base64(rsa_sha256(PARTNER_ID + "\n" + URL + "\n" + HTTP_METHOD + "\n" + TIMESTAMP + "\n" + PAYLOAD))
message = PARTNER_ID + "\n" + URL + "\n" + HTTP_METHOD + "\n" + TIMESTAMP + "\n" + PAYLOAD
padding = PKCS1v15
algorithm = SHA256
base64(private_key.sign(message, padding, algorithm))
```
**(Note that the newline character is escaped)**

- `base64` is Strict Base64 encoding (RFC 4648). No line feeds are added.
- `rsa_sha256` is the RSA-SHA256 hashing algorithm using your private key. Padding is PKCS1v15 if you need to specify.
- The signing algorithm is SHA256 using your RSA private key.
- Padding is PKCS1v15 if you need to specify.
