client:
var fixedauth = require('fixedauth')
var headers = {
authorization: fixedauth.sign('secret key!')
}

server:
var fixedauth = require('fixedauth')
// string resulting from fixedauth.sign, however you choose to transmit it
var signature
var isAuthorized = fixedauth.verify('secret key', signature)
Also available as connect-style middleware:
var fixedauth = require('fixedauth')
app.use(fixedauth('secret key!'))
