    It's a bit confusing how the "keyinfo" for a key returns "can_sign".

    If you have only added your Public Key, it will indicate "can_sign" for the key in "keyinfo", but that doesn't mean yet, that you can sign with the key. You will also need to add your Private Key to actually make signing work.
