OpenPGP defines two variant forms of inline signed messages:
1. **{term}`One-pass signed messages<One-pass signed Message>`** This is the commonly used format for inline signed messages. A signer can produce and a verifier can verify this format in one pass.
2. **{term}`Prefixed signed messages<Prefixed signed Message>`** This format predates[^inline-signature-formats] {term}`one-pass signed messages<One-pass signed Message>` and is conceptually slightly simpler. However, it has no strong benefits and is now rarely used.
2. **{term}`Prefixed signed messages<Prefixed signed Message>`** This format predates[^inline-signature-formats] {term}`one-pass signed messages<One-pass signed Message>` and is conceptually slightly simpler. However, it is now rarely used and can be considered a legacy format.
[^inline-signature-formats]: One-pass signing was first specified in RFC 2440. The format was not supported in PGP 2.6.x.
[^inline-signature-formats]: One-pass signing was [first specified in RFC 2440](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2440.html#section-5.4). The format was not supported in PGP 2.6.x. For one discussion of the feature in the lead-up to the standardization of RFC 2440, see [here](https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/openpgp/U4Qg3Z9bj-RDgpwW5nmRNetOZKY/).

A {term}`one-pass signed<One-pass signed Message>` {term}`OpenPGP message` consists of three segments:
1. [**One-pass signature packets**](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#one-pass-sig): These one or more {term}`packets<Packet>` precede the signed data and enable {term}`signature<OpenPGP Signature Packet>` computation (both creation and verification) in a single pass.

2. [**{term}`OpenPGP message`**](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#lit): This contains the original data (e.g., the body of a message), which is signed without additional interpretation or conversion. Internally, a signed [message](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#name-openpgp-messages) consists of one or more OpenPGP packets. The message that gets signed will typically consist of either a {term}`Literal Data Packet`, or a {term}`Compressed Data Packet`.
2. **{term}`OpenPGP message`**: This contains the original payload data (e.g., the body of a message), which is signed without additional interpretation or conversion. Internally, a signed [message](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#name-openpgp-messages) consists of one or more OpenPGP packets. This payload is typically stored as either a {term}`Literal Data Packet`, or a {term}`Compressed Data Packet`.
3. **{term}`Data signature packets<OpenPGP Signature Packet>`**: These contain the {term}`cryptographic signature` corresponding to the original data.
