* **Issuer Fingerprint**: Essential for signature verification, this subpacket identifies the key (or subkey) used to create the signature. OpenPGP v6 signatures should include the Issuer Fingerprint subpacket, containing the 32-byte fingerprint of the key. * **Issuer Fingerprint**: Essential for signature verification, this subpacket identifies the key (or subkey) used to create the signature.

The issuer key might be a subkey. The key used as the issuer in the signature might be a subkey of the primary key.

This subpacket can be placed in either the hashed or unhashed area due to its self-authenticating nature. However, it is recommended to include it in the signature's hashed area for enhanced security.
