Inline Signature Inline Signature
A {term}`Data Signature` which exists encapsulated alongside the data it was created for in an OpenPGP container. See [](forms-of-data-signatures). An [inline signature](inline-signature) is a type of {term}`OpenPGP message` which stores a {term}`Data Signature` alongside the message it signs. Both the message and the signature are stored in a shared OpenPGP container.
The standard defines two variant formats for inline signatures:
- {term}`One-pass signed Message`: This format is now commonly used.
- {term}`Prefixed signed Message`: This is a historical format. It is still supported, but rarely used.
For more context, see [](forms-of-data-signatures).
