    """
    # Create deterministic JSON string
    genesis_string = json.dumps(genesis_data, sort_keys=True, separators=(',', ':'))
    
    # Calculate SHA-256 hash
    calculated_hash = hashlib.sha256(genesis_string.encode()).hexdigest()

    signature_data = f"{signer}:{message}:{chain or 'global'}"
    
    # Generate signature (simplified for demo)
    signature = hashlib.sha256(signature_data.encode()).hexdigest()
    
    # In production, this would use actual cryptographic signing
    # signature = cryptographic_sign(private_key, signature_data)
    
    return signature

    return signature_valid

Signature Validation Process:

1. Signer Authentication: Verify signer identity and authority
2. Message Creation: Create signature message with context
