Member Function Documentation

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::CertifyOnNextSave	(	const UString &	in_pkcs12_keyfile_path,
		const UString &	in_password
	)

Must be called to prepare a signature for certification, which is done afterwards by calling Save. Throws if document already certified. Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed. Throws if signature field already has a digital signature dictionary.

Parameters

in_pkcs12_keyfile_path	– The path to the PKCS #12 private keyfile to use to certify this digital signature.
in_password	– The password to use to parse the PKCS #12 keyfile.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::CertifyOnNextSave	(	const UChar *	in_pkcs12_buffer,
		size_t	in_buf_size,
		const UString &	in_password
	)

Must be called to prepare a signature for certification, which is done afterwards by calling Save. Throws if document already certified. Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed. Throws if signature field already has a digital signature dictionary.

Parameters

in_pkcs12_buffer	– A buffer of bytes containing the PKCS #12 private key certificate store to use to certify this digital signature.
in_buf_size	– buffer size.
in_password	– The password to use to parse the PKCS #12 buffer.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::CertifyOnNextSaveWithCustomHandler ( const SDF::SignatureHandlerId in_signature_handler_id )

Must be called to prepare a signature for certification, which is done afterwards by calling Save. Throws if document already certified. Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed. Throws if signature field already has a digital signature dictionary.

Parameters

in_signature_handler_id – The unique id of the signature handler to use to certify this digital signature.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::ClearSignature ( )

Clears cryptographic signature, if present. Otherwise, does nothing. Do not need to call HasCryptographicSignature before calling this. After clearing, other signatures should still pass validation if saving after clearing was done incrementally. Clears the appearance as well.

bool pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::EnableLTVOfflineVerification ( const VerificationResult & in_verification_result ) const

Given a successful verification result that required online information to verify trust (trust verification must have been enabled and successful during the verification), embeds data into the PDF document that allows the signature to be verified offline. (This is accomplished using DSS and VRI dictionaries.) When this operation is successfully completed, one of the two components of secure long term validation (LTV) will be in place. The other necessary component of secure long term validation is to make sure to timestamp the document appropriately while the signature is still verifiable to maintain a chain of unexpired secure timestamps attesting to the integrity of the document. The verifiability of the signature should thereafter be maintainable in such a fashion despite any possible certificate expiry, algorithm compromise, or key compromise that would have otherwise rendered it invalid if it were to be verified using a time in the future rather than a securely-signed timestamp-derived time nearer the time of signing (at which which the signature was verifiable without extra data). This function, if given a good verification result, is also capable of making timestamp (DocTimeStamp ETSI.RFC3161) signatures LTV-enabled, which is necessary to do first when you intend to add another timestamp around an already-timestamped document to extend or enhance its verifiability (as described above), as per the PDF 2.0 and ETSI TS 102 778-4 (PAdES Level 4) specifications.

Parameters

in_verification_result – a successful verification result containing a successful TrustVerificationResult

Returns: a boolean status that reflects whether offline verification information was added successfully

Note: It is necessary to save the document incrementally after this function completes successfully in order to actually write the LTV data into the document.

std::vector<Common::ByteRange> pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetByteRanges ( ) const

Retrieves the ranges of byte indices within the document over which this signature is intended to apply/be verifiable.

Returns: a container of byte range objects

Note: This function does not verify that the signature is valid over its byte ranges. It merely returns them. This can be useful when a document consists of multiple incremental revisions, the latter of which may or may not have been signed, for telling which revisions were actually signed by which signature. The outputs of this function can also be used to truncate the document at the end of a signed byte range, in order that the signed document revision may be retrieved from a document with later incremental revisions. Of course, to be certain that the signature is valid, it must also then be verified using the verification API. Also, the caller is responsible for making sure that the byte ranges returned from this function actually make sense (i.e. fit inside the document).

std::vector<UChar> pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetCert ( UInt32 in_index ) const

Gets a certificate in the certificate chain (Cert entry) of the digital signature dictionary by index. Throws if Cert is not Array or String, throws if index is out of range and Cert is Array, throws if index is > 1 and Cert is string, otherwise retrieves the certificate.

Parameters

in_index – An integral index which must be greater than 0 and less than the cert count as retrieved using GetCertCount.

Returns: A vector of bytes containing the certificate at the index. Returns empty vector if Cert is missing.

UInt32 pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetCertCount ( ) const

Gets number of certificates in certificate chain (Cert entry of digital signature dictionary). Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: An integer value - the number of certificates in the Cert entry of the digital signature dictionary.

std::vector<std::vector<X509Certificate> > pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetCertPathsFromCMS ( ) const

Retrieves all constructible certificate paths from an adbe.pkcs7.detached digital signature. The signer will always be returned if the signature is CMS-based and not corrupt. Must only be called on signed adbe.pkcs7.detached signatures. The order of the certificates in each of the paths returned is as follows: the signer will be first, and issuers come after it in order of the issuer of the previous certificate. The default behaviour is to return a sub-path for each marginal issuer in a max-length path.

Returns: a container of X509Certificate objects

Note: This function does not verify the paths. It merely extracts certificates and constructs paths. This function only works when the build has support for verification-related APIs.

UString pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetContactInfo ( ) const

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Returns the contact information of the signer from the digital signature dictionary. Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: A unicode string containing the contact information of the signer from within the digital signature dictionary. Empty if ContactInfo entry not present.

DocumentPermissions pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetDocumentPermissions ( ) const

If HasCryptographicSignature, returns most restrictive permissions found in any reference entries in this digital signature. Returns Lock-resident (i.e. tentative) permissions otherwise. Throws if invalid permission value is found.

Returns: An enumeration value representing the level of restrictions (potentially) placed on the document by this signature.

UString pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetLocation ( ) const

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Returns the Location of the signature from the digital signature dictionary. Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: A unicode string containing the signing location from within the digital signature dictionary. Empty if Location entry not present.

std::vector<UString> pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetLockedFields ( ) const

Returns the fully-qualified names of all fields locked by this signature using the field permissions feature. Retrieves from the digital signature dictionary if the form field HasCryptographicSignature. Otherwise, retrieves from the Lock entry of the digital signature form field. Result is invalidated by any field additions or removals. Does not take document permissions restrictions into account.

Returns: A vector of UStrings representing the fully-qualified names of all fields locked by this signature.

UString pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetReason ( ) const

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Returns the Reason for the signature from the digital signature dictionary. Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: A unicode string containing the reason for the signature from within the digital signature dictionary. Empty if Reason entry not present.

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetSDFObj ( ) const

Retrieves the SDF Obj of the digital signature field.

Returns: the underlying SDF/Cos object.

UString pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetSignatureName ( ) const

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Returns the name of the signer of the signature from the digital signature dictionary. Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: A unicode string containing the name of the signer from within the digital signature dictionary. Empty if Name entry not present.

X509Certificate pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetSignerCertFromCMS ( ) const

Returns the signing certificate. Must only be called on signed adbe.pkcs7.detached signatures.

Returns: An X509Certificate object.

Note: This function does not verify the signature. It merely extracts the claimed signing certificate. This function only works when the build has support for verification-related APIs.

Date pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetSigningTime ( ) const

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Returns the "M" entry from the digital signature dictionary, which represents the signing date/time. Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: A PDF::Date object holding the signing date/time from within the digital signature dictionary. Returns a default-constructed PDF::Date if no date is present.

SubFilterType pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::GetSubFilter ( ) const

Returns the SubFilter type of the digital signature. Specification says that one must check the SubFilter before using various getters. Must call HasCryptographicSignature first and use it to check whether the signature is signed.

Returns: An enumeration describing what the SubFilter of the digital signature is from within the digital signature dictionary.

bool pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::HasCryptographicSignature ( ) const

Returns whether the digital signature field has been cryptographically signed. Checks whether there is a digital signature dictionary in the field and whether it has a Contents entry. Must be called before using various digital signature dictionary-related functions. Does not check validity - will return true even if a valid hash has not yet been generated (which will be the case after [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler] has been called on the signature but even before Save is called on the document).

Returns: A boolean value representing whether the digital signature field has a digital signature dictionary with a Contents entry.

bool pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::HasVisibleAppearance ( ) const

Returns whether the field has a visible appearance. Can be called without checking HasCryptographicSignature first, since it operates on the surrounding Field dictionary, not the "V" entry (i.e. digital signature dictionary). Performs the zero-width+height check, the Hidden bit check, and the NoView bit check as described by the PDF 2.0 specification, section 12.7.5.5 "Signature fields".

Returns: A boolean representing whether or not the signature field has a visible signature.

bool pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::IsCertification ( ) const

Returns whether or not this signature is a certification.

Returns: a boolean value representing whether or not this signature is a certification.

bool pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::IsLockedByDigitalSignature ( ) const

Returns whether this digital signature field is locked against modifications by any digital signatures. Can be called when this field is unsigned.

Returns: A boolean representing whether this digital signature field is locked against modifications by any digital signatures in the document.

DigitalSignatureField& pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::operator= ( const DigitalSignatureField & other )

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::SetContactInfo ( const UString & in_contact_info )

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Sets the ContactInfo entry in the digital signature dictionary. Must create a digital signature dictionary first using [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler]. If this function is called on a digital signature field that has already been cryptographically signed with a valid hash, the hash will no longer be valid, so do not call Save (to sign/create the hash) until after you call this function, if you need to call this function in the first place. Essentially, call this function after [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler] and before Save.

Parameters

in_contact_info – A string containing the ContactInfo to be set.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::SetDocumentPermissions ( DocumentPermissions in_perms )

Sets the document locking permission level for this digital signature field. Call only on unsigned signatures, otherwise a valid hash will be invalidated.

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Sets the Location entry in the digital signature dictionary. Must create a digital signature dictionary first using [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler]. If this function is called on a digital signature field that has already been cryptographically signed with a valid hash, the hash will no longer be valid, so do not call Save (to sign/create the hash) until after you call this function, if you need to call this function in the first place. Essentially, call this function after [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler] and before Save.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::SetReason ( const UString & in_reason )

Should not be called when SubFilter is ETSI.RFC3161 (i.e. on a DocTimeStamp). Sets the Reason entry in the digital signature dictionary. Must create a digital signature dictionary first using [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler]. If this function is called on a digital signature field that has already been cryptographically signed with a valid hash, the hash will no longer be valid, so do not call Save (to sign/create the hash) until after you call this function, if you need to call this function in the first place. Essentially, call this function after [Certify/Sign]OnNextSave[WithCustomHandler] and before Save.

Parameters

in_reason – A string containing the Reason to be set.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::SignOnNextSave	(	const UString &	in_pkcs12_keyfile_path,
		const UString &	in_password
	)

Must be called to prepare a signature for signing, which is done afterwards by calling Save. Cannot sign two signatures during one save (throws). Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed. Throws if signature field already has a digital signature dictionary.

Parameters

in_pkcs12_keyfile_path	– The path to the PKCS #12 private keyfile to use to sign this digital signature.
in_password	– The password to use to parse the PKCS #12 keyfile.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::SignOnNextSave	(	const UChar *	in_pkcs12_buffer,
		size_t	in_buf_size,
		const UString &	in_password
	)

Must be called to prepare a signature for signing, which is done afterwards by calling Save. Cannot sign two signatures during one save (throws). Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed. Throws if signature field already has a digital signature dictionary.

Parameters

in_pkcs12_buffer	– A buffer of bytes containing the PKCS #12 private key certificate store to use to sign this digital signature.
in_buf_size	– buffer size.
in_password	– The password to use to parse the PKCS #12 buffer.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::SignOnNextSaveWithCustomHandler ( const SDF::SignatureHandlerId in_signature_handler_id )

Must be called to prepare a signature for signing, which is done afterwards by calling Save. Cannot sign two signatures during one save (throws). Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed. Throws if signature field already has a digital signature dictionary.

Parameters

in_signature_handler_id – The unique id of the signature handler to use to sign this digital signature.

void pdftron::PDF::DigitalSignatureField::TimestampOnNextSave	(	const TimestampingConfiguration &	in_timestamping_config,
		const VerificationOptions &	in_timestamp_response_verification_options
	)

Must be called to prepare a secure PDF-embedded timestamp signature (RFC 3161 DocTimeStamp) for signing, which is done afterwards by calling Save on the document with an e_incremental flag. Throws if document is locked by other signatures, if signature is already signed, or if another signature has already been prepared for signing on the next save (because only one signing operation can be done per incremental save). Default document permission level is e_annotating_formfilling_signing_allowed.

Parameters

in_timestamping_config – Configuration options to store for timestamping. These will include various items related to contacting a timestamping authority. Incorrect configuration will result in document Save throwing an exception. The usability of a combination of a TimestampingConfiguration and VerificationOptions can be checked ahead of time to prevent exceptions by calling TestConfiguration on TimestampingConfiguration and passing VerificationOptions.

in_timestamp_response_verification_options – Options for the timestamp response verification step (which is required by RFC 3161 to be done as part of timestamping). These response verification options should include the root certificate of the timestamp authority, so that the trust status of the timestamp signature can be verified. The options that should be passed are the same ones that one expects the timestamp to be verifiable with in the future (once it is embedded in the document), except the response verification requires online revocation information whereas the later verification may not (depending on whether LTV offline verification information for the timestamp signature gets embedded into the document by that time). The timestamp response verification step makes sure that (a) the timestamp response has a success status, which is the only time that this is verified in the entire workflow, which prevents embedding an unsuccessful response; (b) that it digests the document correctly and is otherwise generally verifiable; and (c) that the nonce is correct (which is the only time that this is verifiable in the entire workflow) to prevent replay attacks (if it was not requested in the TimestampingConfiguration that the nonce mechanism should be disabled).

Note: A failure in timestamp response verification will result in document Save throwing an exception. It is recommended to use TimestampingConfiguration.TestConfiguration with the VerificationOptions ahead of time to avoid this.
