@ -16,17 +16,14 @@ The term *signature* can have multiple meanings in the context of OpenPGP:
- Cryptographic keys create raw signatures which are byte sequences calculated according to some signature scheme.
- [*OpenPGP signature packets*](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#name-signature-packet-type-id-2), which combine a *type* setting, additional metadata, and a raw cryptographic signature.
