581    @subsection Verify Detached Signatures
582    Most of the signature are detached, which means that the signature is separated from the data.
583    Usually you need to verify a detached signature when you have downloaded a software package or
584    an update of it. The steps to verify such a signature are easy. Just open the File Manager and
585    drag the detached signature in the File Manager window.
586    Now select the signature and select "Verify" either via the popup menu or the File menu.
587    In most cases you propably need to download the verification key, before you can verify the signature.
