Synopsis

HELP:   OpenPGP signature
TYPE:   OBJECT
SYNTAX: PGP(ARMOR(FORMAT=OFF/STD/EXT,CHRSET=NONE/SYSTEM/ASCII/UCS1/UTF8/EBCDIC/UCS2BE/UTF16BE/UCS2LE/UTF16LE/UCS4BE/UTF32BE/UCS4LE/UTF32LE/LOCAL,DELIM/RECDLM=HOST/BIN/TXT/NL/USS/LF/UNIX/CR/OLDMAC/CRLF/WINDOWS/DLM/SYSTEM,COMMENT='str'),SIGHSH/HSHALG=MD5/SHA1/RIPEMD/SHA224/SHA256/SHA384/SHA512,SIGNID/SIGNER='str')

Description

The object defines all parameters for a detached OpenPGP signature.

With the SIGNID, you specify wich private key should be used. It is also possible to specify the algorithm to hash the document (the hash is used for signature generation). If no hash algorithm is specified, a default algorithm is chosen.

The armor object converts binary signatures to Base64 and adds the ASCII armor header and trailer.
