They provide the syntax for forming and interpreting comprehensive statements about certificates and their components, as well as for ensuring the integrity and authenticity of data. -Without signatures, there would only be loose keys, impossible to associate with a certificate, or their owner. Signatures are the glue that allows for components (component keys and identity components) to be assembled into hierarchical certificates, and for messages to gain authenticity. +Without signatures, keys would remain unassociated with any certificate or owner. Signatures are crucial for binding component keys and identity components into hierarchical certificates and for establishing the authenticity of messages. ## Terminology diff --git a/book/source/diag/Fingerprint.png b/book/source/diag/Fingerprint.png deleted file mode 100644 index dd54dc8..0000000 Binary files a/book/source/diag/Fingerprint.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/book/source/diag/Fingerprint.svg b/book/source/diag/Fingerprint.svg deleted file mode 100644 index dbdacdf..0000000 --- a/book/source/diag/Fingerprint.svg +++ /dev/null @@ -1,304 +0,0 @@ - -Fingerprint of an OpenPGP component key - key creation timeComponent KeyC0A5 8384 A438 E5A1 4F73 7124 26A4 D45D BAEE F4A3 9E6B 30B0 9D55 13F9 78AC CA94Fingerprint
