Meaning of "signatures" in g10/app-openpgp.c, doSign() ?
Moin,

does
"signatures created so far: %lu\n"
in g10/app-openpgp.c, 1.23, doSign()
mean signature on keys or signature on application data?

The translation into german for these would be different:
"Beglaubigung" for keys
"Unterschrift" for data

Gruss,
Walter

Signatures made using the key on this card. The counter is associated
with the first key of the card and only reset if you generate or
import a new key.

For each user ID and subkey you will notice 2 signatures: One for the
public key and one for the secret key. The second is not really needed
but well it fits better into the existing code.

"Signaturoperationen"?
