Is there any way in GnuPG to detach (or extract) a signature from a signed object? For example, a signed object is created with:-
>gpg --armor --output signedfile.asc --sign inputfile.txt where what is wanted is a detached signature which would verify against inputfile.txt. This feature is in PGP 2:- >pgp -sa inputfile.txt -o signedfile.asc >pgp -b signedfile.asc -o verified.txt which also produces verified.pgp as the detached signature. The feature is described (briefly) in the PGP 2 documentation thus:- >To detach a signature certificate from a signed message: > pgp -b ciphertextfile The reason for asking is that I operate a service [1], which currently used PGP 2, and which would benefit from more recent crypto, but which also uses "pgp -b" extensively.
