Compared to a {term}`one-pass signed message`, there are no {term}`one-pass signature packets<One-pass Signature Packet>` in this format, and the (otherwise equivalent) {term}`signature packet(s)<signature packet>` are stored ahead of the signed data.
For verification, this is equally convenient as the one-pass signed message form.
