### One-pass signed message
This is the commonly used format for inline signed messages.

Verifiers must acquire this {term}`key` externally (e.g., from a {term}`key server`) to authenticate the {term}`signature<OpenPGP Signature Packet>` successfully.

### Prefixed signed message
A {term}`prefixed signed message` consists of {term}`signature packet(s)<signature packet>` followed by the message. This inline signature format serves the same function as a {term}`one-pass signed message`. For the verifier, the two formats are equally convenient. However, on the signer's side, it takes more computational work to generate a {term}`prefixed signed message`.
