<p>All operations described here are done with standard OpenPGP software such as <link url='http://www.gnupg.org/'>GnuPG</link>. All program output is US-ASCII armored output with the headers removed. This allows for easy transportation of the program output directly in the XML. All keys are exchanged using OpenPGP key servers, and usually are retrieved when a signed &PRESENCE; stanza is received (key retrieval does not happen in-band).</p> <p>All operations described here are done with standard OpenPGP software such as <link url='http://www.gnupg.org/'>GnuPG</link>.

<p>Signing enables a sender to verify that they sent a certain block of text. In Jabber, signing uses the 'jabber:x:signed' namespace, and is primarily used with &PRESENCE;, but may also be used with &MESSAGE;. Because signing requires a block of text, it creates new restrictions on the &PRESENCE; and &MESSAGE; stanzas:</p> <p>Signing enables a sender to verify that they sent a certain block of text. In Jabber, signing uses the 'jabber:x:signed' namespace, and is primarily used with &PRESENCE;, but may also be used with &MESSAGE;. The text that is signed MAY be the empty string. When signing presence, the sender SHOULD sign the XML character data of the &lt;status&gt; element. The sender SHOULD sign presence using the private key whose KeyID corresponds to the public key to be used in encrypting messages (see below).</p>
<ul>
<li>A &PRESENCE; stanza MUST have a &lt;status&gt; element containing XML character data.</li>
<li>A &MESSAGE; stanza MUST have a &lt;body&gt; element containing XML character data.</li>
</ul>
<p>These requirements are necessary so that there is always common text to sign and verify against. When signing presence, the sender SHOULD sign the XML character data of the &lt;status&gt; element.
