In PublicKeyEncryption, a [Signature] is a [CryptographicHash] of a message which is signed with the PrivateKey and appended to the message. This allows any holders of the PublicKey to verify that the signature was created by a holder of the private key. The exact meaning of the signature depends on the system (and often what is being signed), for example signing someone else's PublicKey after a KeySigningParty is quite different to signing an [Email] to a friend.
