Ah, okay! Would you mind explaining what does "comparing wording, not exact text" mean?


It's a very poorly written way of saying that instead of storing your text it uses a hash of your text to sign. When you want to check the signature you only need to hash the text to check, again without touching the server.


I must agree that is quite poorly phrased
