@ -33,8 +33,8 @@ Data signature packets manifest in three distinct forms, which will be detailed
OpenPGP signatures over data can be used in three different forms[^sign-modes-gpg]:
- *Detached*: The signature is a standalone artifact, separate from the signed data.
- *Inline*: The original data and the signature over the data are collectively stored in an OpenPGP container.
- *Cleartext signature*: A message in text format and a signature over this message are stored in a combined text-format, which leaves the original message in a human-readable representation.
- *Inline*: The original data and the signature over data are enclosed within an OpenPGP container.
- *Cleartext signature*: A plaintext message and a signature over this message are stored in a combined text-format, maintaining the original message's readability.
[^sign-modes-gpg]: These three signature forms correspond with GnuPG's `--detach-sign`, `--sign` and `--clear-sign` modes.
