What am I doing wrong in this JSON crypto signature verification
snippet that features many conversions between binary and text?

    recipients = jwsjs["recipients"]
    encoded_payload = binary(jwsjs["payload"])
    headers = []
    for recipient in recipients:
        h = binary(recipient["header"])
        s = binary(recipient["signature"])
        header = json.loads(native(urlsafe_b64decode(h)))
        vk = urlsafe_b64decode(binary(header["jwk"]["vk"]))
        secured_input = b".".join((h, encoded_payload))
        sig = urlsafe_b64decode(s)
        sig_msg = sig+secured_input
        verified_input = native(ed25519ll.crypto_sign_open(sig_msg, vk))
        verified_header, verified_payload = verified_input.split('.')
        verified_header = binary(verified_header)
        decoded_header = native(urlsafe_b64decode(verified_header))
        headers.append(json.loads(decoded_header))

    verified_payload = binary(verified_payload)

    # only return header, payload that have passed through the crypto library.
    payload = json.loads(native(urlsafe_b64decode(verified_payload)))

    return headers, payload
