They reliably express the signer's intent. - **Unhashed area**: Unhashed subpackets, conversely, are not included in the hash digest for the signature. They are thus not protected against tampering and can be used to retroactively add, change, or remove metadata in a signature packet without affecting its validity. They are primarily used for advisory purposes or in scenarios where the integrity of the subpacket content can be self-authenticated. An example is the issuer fingerprint subpacket, which can be validated through successful signature verification using the referenced issuer key.
