Zooming in: Packet structure of data signatures
In this chapter, we'll create signatures using Alice's private key material, and inspect the packet structure of those signatures.
In some examples, we'll use a test-message that contains the string hello world followed by one line feed (0x0a) character:
$ echo "hello world" > message.txt
Detached signature
We can produce a detached signature for this "hello world" message, using Alice's private signing key material:
$ sq sign --detached --signer-file alice.pgp message.txt
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
And inspect the packet structure of this signature:
$ sq packet dump --hex detached-sig.txt
