<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>This XMPP extension protocol specifies a profile of Pubsub Signing to use OpenPGP for signature.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Signing a Pubsub Item With OpenPGP' anchor='signing'>
  <p>Signing an item with OpenPGP requires to have &xep0373; implemented to handle keys, however this specification uses its own &lt;sign/&gt; element because it uses wrapper element from Pubsub Signing XEP, and signed data MUST NOT be included with the signature.</p>
  <p>To sign an element, a client process as explained in XEP-0XXX <link url='https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/pubsub-signing.html#signing'>§ Signing a Pubsub Item</link> where the "signing profile" element used is a &lt;sign/&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:pubsub-signing:openpgp:0' namespace. This element MUST contain a Base64 encoded (&rfc4648; <link url='https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-4'>§ 4</link>) OpenPGP message as specified in &rfc4880; which MUST contain a <strong>detached signature</strong> as defined in &rfc4880; <link url='https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4880#section-11.4'>§ 11.4</link> of the signed data as specified in XEP-0XXX <link url='https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/pubsub-signing.html#signing'>§ Signing a Pubsub Item</link>.</p>

  <p>If a client supports the protocol specified in this XEP, it MUST advertise it by including the "urn:xmpp:pubsub-signing:openpgp:0" discovery feature in response to a &xep0030; information request:</p>
