A2. According to the example, it is the raw binary RSA signature, base64 encoded. It is not encoded as an ASN.1 bit string, and so is not the same signature format at that used in certificates in RFC 3280. Neither is it encoded as an ASN.1 "encryptedDigest" (an octet string) as defined in PKCS#7, nor as a "SignatureValue" (also an octet string) as defined in RFC 3852. Whether leading zero octets are to be suppressed or not is not specified. | A2. According to the example, it is the raw binary RSA signature, base64 encoded.
