Message and packet signing

The wallet may be asked to sign ordinary messages or Quorum-specific packets. Treat them differently.

Message signing

Message signing proves control of an identity over some displayed text or bytes. It should not be used as a substitute for Quorum proposal approval unless the message is a protocol-defined preimage.

Packet signing

Packet signing is Quorum-specific. It signs canonical data with domain tags and action context so the signature is bound to a multisig, proposal, action, and signer scheme.

What to review

• Requesting app.
• Identity being used.
• Domain or action type.
• Multisig address.
• Proposal index or settings action.
• Whether the displayed payload is human-readable enough to approve.
