The PDFVerify struct verifies PDF signatures.

Syntax

securepdf::PDFVerify

Remarks

The PDFVerify struct verifies electronic signatures over PDF documents. Basic Adobe and PAdES signatures are supported.

PDFVerify validates each signature from two perspectives: the integrity and validity of the signature (i.e., its correspondence to the document data it covers), and the validity and trustworthiness of the signing certificate chain. These two signature aspects are generally independent of each other - the signature may be valid but the chain may not be trusted, or the chain may be trusted but the integrity of the signature may be violated. Under normal circumstances, both the signature and the chain must be valid for the signature to be considered good.

Preparing the Validation

To initiate the validation, first provide the signed PDF document as a file (input_file), byte array (input_data), or stream (set_input_stream). Then adjust any chain validation parameters as necessary (please see the Chain Validation Setup section for more details) and call verify.

For every signature in the document, PDFVerify fires the on_signature_info event, allowing you to specify whether you want the struct to validate the signature, the chain, or both.

Once on_signature_info returns, PDFVerify proceeds to the signature validation routine in accordance with the provided settings.

Validation Results

Upon completion of the validation, the on_signature_processed event is fired, and the validation results are published here as well as in the following properties of the associated PDFSignature object:

  • contains the outcome of the signature validation: valid, corrupted, the signing certificate was missing, or failed.
  • contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined.
  • provides the details of the factors that contributed to the chain validation result, such as an outdated certificate, a missing CRL, or a missing CA certificate.
Other information about the signature can be accessed using the signatures property.

Checking Signature Coverage

The PDF format uses incremental updates to introduce changes to the document. This implies that a signature may not cover the whole document, but rather a certain revision of it. Strictly speaking, every signature in a PDF document, apart from potentially the last one, covers just some part of the document. In most cases, that part matches the revision of the document that existed before all the subsequent signatures were added.

Because of these specifics of the PDF format, it is crucially important to understand which part of the document is covered by a specific signature. Use the property of the associated PDFSignature object to establish the scope of a signature. The revision of the document covered by that specific signature ranges from byte 0 to . Alternatively, you can use the get_signed_version method to extract the signed revision to a file.

Chain Validation Setup

Chain validation is a sophisticated, multifaceted procedure that involves a lot of variables. Depending on the configuration of your operating environment, the specifics of the PKI framework being used, and the validation policy you need to follow, you may want to adjust your chain validation parameters to best fit your requirements. A summary of these parameters is given below.

NOTE: These parameters apply to sign and update in PDFSign as well as verify in PDFVerify, as all three methods execute the chain validation procedure (if it is enabled).

Validation Policy

The validation_policy property dictates how thoroughly the chain is validated. It includes options to control which checks the struct performs, allowing you to tailor the validation process to meet your specific security needs. For example, if it is not essential to check each certificate's revocation status, set this property to vpFullNoRevocation.

Revocation

The revocation aspect of chain validation is controlled by the revocation_check property, which allows you to choose between and prioritize revocation origins.

NOTE: OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL endpoints because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of the responses they produce.

Trust

The trust aspect of chain validation is controlled by the trust_sources property, which allows you to specify the locations in which the struct searches for trust anchors. Local system stores, your own trusted root certificates (through the trusted_certs property), and Trusted Lists (through the trusted_lists property) are all supported.

Offline Mode

The offline_mode property provides the ability to sign or verify the document without contacting online sources. If this property is enabled, the struct only uses known_certs, trusted_certs, data structures within the document, and revocation and Trusted List data that it previously saved to its internal cache when looking for missing validation material.

Object Lifetime

The new() method returns a mutable reference to a struct instance. The object itself is kept in the global list maintained by SecurePDF. Due to this, the PDFVerify struct cannot be disposed of automatically. Please, call the dispose(&mut self) method of PDFVerify when you have finished using the instance.

NOTE: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

NOTE: This store type is not available in Java.

2 (cstPFXFile)The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates.

NOTE: This store type is only available in Java.

5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format.

NOTE: This store type is only available in Java.

6 (cstPEMKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.

17 (cstXMLBlob)The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format.
18 (cstJWKFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a JWK (JSON Web Key).
19 (cstJWKBlob)The certificate store is a string that contains a JWK (JSON Web Key).
21 (cstBCFKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store).

NOTE: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

NOTE: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, create a new Certificate object and pass cstPKCS11 as the blocked_cert_store_type, the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the blocked_cert_store, and the PIN as the blocked_cert_store_password.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll", "123456", // PIN "CN=cert_subject"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the CertMgr struct by calling the list_store_certificates method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the blocked_cert_store and set blocked_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, create a new Certificate object and pass cstPKCS11 as the decryption_cert_store_type, the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the decryption_cert_store, and the PIN as the decryption_cert_store_password.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll", "123456", // PIN "CN=cert_subject"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the CertMgr struct by calling the list_store_certificates method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the decryption_cert_store and set decryption_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

NOTE: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, create a new Certificate object and pass cstPKCS11 as the document_cert_store_type, the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the document_cert_store, and the PIN as the document_cert_store_password.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll", "123456", // PIN "CN=cert_subject"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the CertMgr struct by calling the list_store_certificates method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the document_cert_store and set document_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, create a new Certificate object and pass cstPKCS11 as the known_cert_store_type, the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the known_cert_store, and the PIN as the known_cert_store_password.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll", "123456", // PIN "CN=cert_subject"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the CertMgr struct by calling the list_store_certificates method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the known_cert_store and set known_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

fn set_revocation_check(&self, value : i32) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Possible Values

0   // AllCRL
1 // AllOCSP
2 // AllCRLAndOCSP
3 // AnyCRL
4 // AnyOCSP
5 // AnyCRLOrOCSP
6 // AnyOCSPOrCRL

Default Value

6

Remarks

This property is used to specify the revocation sources and preferences the struct uses during chain validation. Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and to obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trust information.

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate has not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on the circumstances and security policy requirements, either one or both of the revocation information source types may be used.

Possible values are:

0 (rcAllCRL) All provided CRL endpoints are checked, and all checks must succeed.
1 (rcAllOCSP) All provided OCSP endpoints are checked, and all checks must succeed.
2 (rcAllCRLAndOCSP) All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints are checked, and all checks must succeed.
3 (rcAnyCRL) All provided CRL endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed.
4 (rcAnyOCSP) All provided OCSP endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed.
5 (rcAnyCRLOrOCSP) All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
6 (rcAnyOCSPOrCRL - default) All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first.

This property controls the way revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically, certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRLs (Certificate Revocation Lists) and OCSP responses. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally a delay between the time at which a certificate was revoked and the time at which the subsequent CRL mentioning that revocation is published. The benefits of CRLs are that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This property allows the validation course to be adjusted by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The rcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The rcAll* modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

NOTE: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check is considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

NOTE: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

fn pdf_signature_coverage_ends_at(&self , PDFSignatureIndex : i32) -> Result<i32, SecurePDFError> 

Default Value

0

Remarks

The byte offset in the PDF file where the signature coverage ends.

PDF generators often use incremental updates to make changes in documents. This may result in the signature only covering a part of the document (one of the past revisions), but not the subsequent changes.

Use this property to identify the offset where the signature coverage ends. One option is to compare it to the length of the whole document to ensure that the signature covers the entire document. Alternatively, use get_signed_version to extract the exact revision that was signed.

A value of 0 indicates that the struct could not determine the coverage offset.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, create a new Certificate object and pass cstPKCS11 as the trusted_cert_store_type, the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the trusted_cert_store, and the PIN as the trusted_cert_store_password.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll", "123456", // PIN "CN=cert_subject"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the CertMgr struct by calling the list_store_certificates method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the trusted_cert_store and set trusted_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

Remarks

The flags that show intended use for the certificate. The value of trusted_cert_usage_flags is a combination of the following flags:

0x80Digital Signature
0x40Non-Repudiation
0x20Key Encipherment
0x10Data Encipherment
0x08Key Agreement
0x04Certificate Signing
0x02CRL Signing
0x01Encipher Only

Please see the trusted_cert_usage property for a text representation of trusted_cert_usage_flags.

This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

The TrustedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the TrustedCertCount property.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

i32

trusted_cert_version property (PDFVerify Struct)

The certificate's version number.

Syntax

fn trusted_cert_version(&self , TrustedCertIndex : i32) -> Result<String, SecurePDFError> 

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

The TrustedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the TrustedCertCount property.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

String

trusted_cert_subject property (PDFVerify Struct)

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

fn trusted_cert_subject(&self , TrustedCertIndex : i32) -> Result<String, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_trusted_cert_subject(&self, TrustedCertIndex : i32, value : &str) -> Option<SecurePDFError> fn set_trusted_cert_subject_ref(&self, TrustedCertIndex : i32, value : &String) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Default Value

""

Remarks

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@email.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

The TrustedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the TrustedCertCount property.

Data Type

String

trusted_cert_encoded property (PDFVerify Struct)

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

fn trusted_cert_encoded(&self , TrustedCertIndex : i32) -> Result<Vec<u8>, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_trusted_cert_encoded(&self, TrustedCertIndex : i32, value : Vec<u8>) -> Option<SecurePDFError> fn set_trusted_cert_encoded_ref(&self, TrustedCertIndex : i32, value : &[u8]) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The trusted_cert_store and trusted_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When trusted_cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current trusted_cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, trusted_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, trusted_cert_subject is set to an empty string.

The TrustedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the TrustedCertCount property.

Data Type

Vec

trusted_lists property (PDFVerify Struct)

A list of known Trusted Lists for chain validation.

Syntax

fn trusted_lists(&self ) -> Result<String, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_trusted_lists(&self, value : &str) -> Option<SecurePDFError> fn set_trusted_lists_ref(&self, value : &String) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Default Value

"%EUTL%"

Remarks

This property is used to supply a semicolon-separated list of URLs or paths of known Trusted Lists to the struct for chain validation.

A Trusted List is an XML document that contains a government-issued list of CAs that have passed regulated compliance checks. When validating the chain, the struct consults the Trusted List to establish certificate trust, ensuring that the CA is legitimate and entitled to issue certificates of the kind being checked.

The default value is the special %EUTL% macro, which, if applicable, instructs the struct to check the root certificate against up-to-date versions of the primary EU Trusted Lists from the EU LOTL. Custom values can be appended: component.TrustedLists = "%EUTL%;http://my.company/tsl;c:\tsls\mytsl.xml"; NOTE: The struct caches all Trusted Lists it downloads and uses during chain validation. This cache is shared between struct instances within the same process. If this property contains a URL that is also present in the cache, the struct retrieves the cached data and reuses it in the current validation. If the data is invalid, the struct downloads a fresh Trusted List and adds it to the cache.

Data Type

String

trust_sources property (PDFVerify Struct)

The trust sources to use during chain validation.

Syntax

fn trust_sources(&self ) -> Result<i32, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_trust_sources(&self, value : i32) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Possible Values

0   // Manual
1 // Local
2 // TrustedLists
3 // LocalAndTrustedLists

Default Value

3

Remarks

This property is used to specify the sources the struct uses to establish certificate trust during chain validation.

Establishing trust for a particular certificate, when either signing or verifying, involves building a chain up to a valid trust anchor. This trust anchor is a root certificate that typically resides on the local system. If the certificate does not eventually chain up to a valid trust anchor, the chain is considered untrusted and therefore invalid.

Possible values are:

0 (tsManual) The struct consults trusted_certs only.
1 (tsLocal) The struct consults local system stores (e.g., Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities) as well as trusted_certs.
2 (tsTrustedLists) The struct consults trusted_lists only.
3 (tsLocalAndTrustedLists - default) The struct consults local system stores, trusted_certs, and trusted_lists.

Data Type

i32

validation_flags property (PDFVerify Struct)

Additional chain validation settings.

Syntax

fn validation_flags(&self ) -> Result<i32, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_validation_flags(&self, value : i32) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property is used to specify additional settings that affect the overall flow of the chain validation.

Its value should be provided as a bitmask of the following flags:

0x001 (cvfForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted) Perform full chain validation for explicitly trusted intermediary or end-entity certificates. This may be useful when creating signatures to enforce the completeness of the collected revocation information. It often makes sense to omit this flag when validating signatures to reduce validation time and avoid issues with poorly configured environments.
0x002 (cvfIgnoreChainLoops) Currently unsupported.
0x004 (cvfIgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension) Currently unsupported.
0x008 (cvfTolerateMinorChainIssues) Currently unsupported.

Data Type

i32

validation_policy property (PDFVerify Struct)

The level at which to perform chain validation.

Syntax

fn validation_policy(&self ) -> Result<i32, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_validation_policy(&self, value : i32) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Possible Values

0   // None
1 // Full
2 // FullNoTrust
3 // FullNoRevocation
4 // BestEffort

Default Value

1

Remarks

This property is used to specify the overall validation policy the struct follows.

Possible values are:

0 (vpNone) No chain validation is attempted at all.
1 (vpFull - default) Revocation and trust checks must succeed for all chains.
2 (vpFullNoTrust) Revocation checks must succeed, but trust checks will not occur.
3 (vpFullNoRevocation) Trust checks must succeed, but revocation checks will not occur.
4 (vpBestEffort) Currently unsupported.

Validation Policy Heuristics

The choice of validation policy depends on the scenario for which the chain is validated.

Creating a new signature:

  • For a basic signature with or without a timestamp, chain validation is not required, so it is recommended to use vpNone. This policy may also be used in test environments or on offline systems.
  • For an LTV signature, use vpFull or vpFullNoTrust depending on whether trust checks are necessary in the current environment. If the signature is being created in an environment that does not match the prospective validation environment, consider vpFullNoTrust to validate the chain properly and fully without expecting good trust.

Updating or extending an existing signature:

  • When updating a basic signature to LTV, similarly use vpFull or vpFullNoTrust as above.
  • When extending an LTV signature, similarly use vpFull or vpFullNoTrust as above.

Validating an existing signature:

  • For basic signature validation, use vpFullNoRevocation if trust checks, but not revocation checks, are necessary in the current environment. This policy may also be used on offline systems if the trust anchor is already available to the struct.
  • For archival validation, use vpFull to validate the chain properly and fully. This policy expects the trust anchor and all the revocation material to be available.

Data Type

i32

validation_time property (PDFVerify Struct)

The time point at which the signature should be validated.

Syntax

fn validation_time(&self ) -> Result<String, SecurePDFError> 
fn set_validation_time(&self, value : &str) -> Option<SecurePDFError> fn set_validation_time_ref(&self, value : &String) -> Option<SecurePDFError>

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used to specify the moment in time at which the signature validity should be established. The time should be provided in UTC in yyyyMMddHHmmssZ format.

Leave this property empty to stick to the default time point. The struct then prioritizes:

  • The signature creation time if the signature contains a signature timestamp (), or
  • The local time included in the signature by the signer ().
NOTE: The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times.

Data Type

String

close method (PDFVerify Struct)

Closes the opened document.

Syntax

fn close(&self) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to close the previously opened document. It should always be preceded by a call to open.

Example: component.InputFile = "input.pdf"; component.Open(); // Some operation component.Close(); If any changes are made to the document, they are saved automatically to output_file, output_data, or the stream set in set_output_stream when this method is called. To configure this saving behavior, set SaveChanges.

config method (PDFVerify Struct)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

fn config(&self, configuration_string : &str) ->  Result<String, SecurePDFError>

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every struct. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the struct.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

encrypted method (PDFVerify Struct)

Checks whether the document is encrypted.

Syntax

fn encrypted(&self) ->  Result<bool, SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to determine whether the document is encrypted. It returns false if the document is pseudo-encrypted with an empty password.

Example: component.InputFile = "input.pdf"; if (component.Encrypted()) { // Set Password or DecryptionCert } component.Open(); // Some operation component.Close(); NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

get_page_property method (PDFVerify Struct)

Returns the value of a page property.

Syntax

fn get_page_property(&self, page_index : i32, page_property : &str) ->  Result<String, SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to obtain general information about the pages of the document, such as their dimensions and content positioning details.

page_index specifies the page to read information about (with a valid range from 0 to page_count - 1), and page_property specifies the page property to read. Possible values are:

Page property Default value Description
CropLowerLeftX 0 The lower-left X coordinate of the page crop area in points.
CropLowerLeftY 0 The lower-left Y coordinate of the page crop area in points.
CropUpperRightX 0 The upper-right X coordinate of the page crop area in points.
CropUpperRightY 0 The upper-right Y coordinate of the page crop area in points.
Height 0 The height of the page in points.
MediaLowerLeftX 0 The lower-left X coordinate of the page media area in points.
MediaLowerLeftY 0 The lower-left Y coordinate of the page media area in points.
MediaUpperRightX 0 The upper-right X coordinate of the page media area in points.
MediaUpperRightY 0 The upper-right Y coordinate of the page media area in points.
Rotation 0 The rotation angle of the page in degrees clockwise. Supported values: 0, 90, 180, 270.
Width 0 The width of the page in points.

Example: int pageCount = 0; component.OnDocumentInfo += (s, e) => { pageCount = e.PageCount; }; component.InputFile = "input.pdf"; component.Open(); for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) component.GetPageProperty(i, "Height"); component.Close(); The page properties can be used to adjust the position of the signature widget based on the page dimensions. For example: int x = int.Parse(pdfsign.GetPageProperty(0, "Width")) - 100; int y = int.Parse(pdfsign.GetPageProperty(0, "Height")) - 100; pdfsign.SetWidgetProperty("OffsetX", x.ToString()); pdfsign.SetWidgetProperty("OffsetY", y.ToString()); NOTE: Each page property is only populated once the document has been loaded, which is reported by the on_document_info event.

NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

get_signed_version method (PDFVerify Struct)

Returns the part of the signed document that is covered by a signature.

Syntax

fn get_signed_version(&self, signature_index : i32) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to obtain the revision of the document that is covered by a signature.

signature_index is the index of the signature of interest in the signatures collection.

Example: pdfverify.InputFile = "signed.pdf"; pdfverify.OutputFile = "revision0.pdf"; pdfverify.GetSignedVersion(0); PDF documents often use an incremental update approach, with any changes being appended to the document without altering the existing revision. This may lead to situations where a signature only covers part of the document (one of the past revisions), but not subsequent changes. This method provides a means to extract the revision that is actually certified by the signature.

It is recommended to use this method when validating signatures to make sure the signature covers the byte range it is expected to cover.

An alternative to this method is to check the property of the signature object and match it to the document length.

NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

interrupt method (PDFVerify Struct)

Interrupts the current action.

Syntax

fn interrupt(&self) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method interrupts the current action. It can be used, for example, within the on_chain_cert event to abort the chain validation procedure.

If there is no action in progress, this method simply returns, doing nothing.

open method (PDFVerify Struct)

Opens the document for processing.

Syntax

fn open(&self) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to open the document specified in input_file, input_data, or set_input_stream before performing some operation on it, such as verifying or removing signatures. When finished, call close to complete or discard the operation.

It is recommended to use this method (alongside close) when performing multiple operations on the document at once.

NOTE: This method populates the attachments, document_certs, and signatures collections with any corresponding objects found in the document.

Automatic Decryption Functionality

If this method is called on an encrypted document, the on_password or on_recipient_info event fires (depending on the encryption type) as a notification that the document must be decrypted before processing can continue.

Once the correct decryption material is supplied, the struct then attempts to decrypt the document automatically within this method. When this occurs, the decrypted content is kept in memory so that the document's encrypted status is preserved when it is saved later. Use decrypt to save a decrypted copy of the document instead.

reset method (PDFVerify Struct)

Resets the struct.

Syntax

fn reset(&self) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to reset the struct's properties and configuration settings to their default values.

save_attachment method (PDFVerify Struct)

Saves a PDF attachment to a file.

Syntax

fn save_attachment(&self, index : i32, file_name : &str) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to retrieve the contents of an attachment from the document and save it to a file. It does not modify the contents of the attachments collection.

index is the index of the attachment in the attachments collection to be saved.

file_name specifies the filename that the attachment will be saved to.

Example: component.InputFile = "input_with_attachment.pdf"; component.Open(); component.SaveAttachment(0, "a.dat"); component.Close(); Example (saving to a stream): component.InputFile = "input_with_attachment.pdf"; component.Attachments[0].OutputStream = myStream; component.SaveAttachment(0, null); // null means use the OutputStream property if it's set NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

signed method (PDFVerify Struct)

Checks whether the document is signed.

Syntax

fn signed(&self) ->  Result<bool, SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to determine whether the document is signed. It returns false if the document contains only empty signature fields.

Example: pdfverify.InputFile = "input.pdf"; if (pdfverify.Signed()) { // Configure validation-related properties as desired pdfverify.Verify(); } NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

unsign method (PDFVerify Struct)

Removes a signature from the document.

Syntax

fn unsign(&self, signature_index : i32, unsign_kind : i32) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to remove an existing signature from the document.

signature_index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection to be removed.

unsign_kind specifies the kind of unsign to perform. Possible values are:

0 (uskFull) Remove the signature fully.
1 (uskKeepField) Remove the signature, but keep the form field it is in.
2 (uskKeepAppearance) Remove the signature, but keep the form field and its widget.

Example: pdfverify.InputFile = "signed.pdf"; pdfverify.OutputFile = "unsigned.pdf"; pdfverify.Open(); int idx = pdfverify.Signatures.Count - 1; pdfverify.Unsign(idx, 0); // uskFull pdfverify.Close(); Note that unsigning is different from get_signed_version. The latter returns the revision of the document including the mentioned signature (thus removing anything after that signature was created). unsign removes the signature completely by carving it out of the document.

NOTE: signature_index set to -1 removes all signatures in the document.

NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

verify method (PDFVerify Struct)

Verifies the signed document.

Syntax

fn verify(&self) -> Result<(), SecurePDFError>

Remarks

This method is used to validate all signatures in the document.

This method walks through the signed document and reports every signature via the on_signature_info event. Subscribe to the event to be notified about the signatures and adjust validation settings on the fly.

Upon completion of this method, the signature details will be published in the signatures property.

Example: pdfverify.InputFile = "signed.pdf"; pdfverify.Verify(); PDFSignature signature = pdfverify.Signatures[0]; if (signature.ValidationResult == SignatureValidationResults.svrValid) Console.WriteLine("Signature is good"); if (signature.ChainValidationResult == ChainValidationResults.cvrValid) Console.WriteLine("Chain is good"); This method only validates the signatures and does not check their coverage. It is a good idea to use mechanisms such as get_signed_version or to ensure that the signature covers the expected document revision.

To control individual signature validation, subscribe to the on_signature_info event and set the validate_signature and validate_chain parameters accordingly. The results are reported via the on_signature_processed event.

Use the following properties to adjust chain validation parameters:

NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it.

on_chain_cert event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired when the struct encounters a chain certificate.

Syntax

// PDFVerifyChainCertEventArgs carries the PDFVerify ChainCert event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifyChainCertEventArgs {
  fn cert_encoded(&self) -> &[u8]
  fn cert_subject(&self) -> &String
  fn cert_issuer(&self) -> &String
  fn validation_time(&self) -> &String
  fn validation_result(&self) -> i32
  fn set_validation_result(&self, value : i32)
  fn validation_details(&self) -> i32
  fn set_validation_details(&self, value : i32)
}

// PDFVerifyChainCertEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify ChainCert event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifyChainCertEvent {
  fn on_chain_cert(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifyChainCertEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_chain_cert(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifyChainCertEvent;
  pub fn set_on_chain_cert(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifyChainCertEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired once for each certificate encountered during chain validation to report that it is about to be processed. The struct tries to retrieve all required chain certificates automatically.

cert_encoded specifies the PEM (Base64-encoded) public certificate.

cert_subject and cert_issuer specify the distinguished names of the certificate owner and issuer respectively.

validation_time specifies the time point (in UTC) at which the certificate validity was established.

validation_result reports the outcome of the individual certificate validation and can be one of the following values:

0 (cvrUnknown - default) Certificate validity is unknown.
1 (cvrValid) The certificate is valid.
2 (cvrValidButUntrusted) The certificate is valid but not trusted.
3 (cvrInvalid) The certificate is not valid (it is revoked, expired, or contains an invalid signature).
4 (cvrCantBeEstablished) The validity of the certificate cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses).

In the case of a failure, validation_details provides more details on its reasons. Its value is a bitmask of the following flags:

0x001 (cvdRevoked) The certificate is revoked.
0x002 (cvdExpiredOrNotYetValid) The certificate is expired or not yet valid.
0x004 (cvdUnknownCA) A CA certificate for the certificate has not been found, is not trusted, or has a wrong public key (chain incomplete).
0x008 (cvdPolicyViolated) One of the CA certificates is not authorized to act as a CA, a mandatory key usage is not enabled, or a weak algorithm is used in the certificate.
0x010 (cvdRevocationCheckFailed) One or more CRLs or OCSP responses could not be verified.
0x020 (cvdBlocked) The certificate is blocked.
0x040 (cvdFailure) General validation failure.

Overridable Chain Validation

While the struct follows the validation rules defined by the X.509 standard to the best of its ability, minor technical issues may arise when validating the chain. The validation_result and validation_details parameters can be overridden to relax such requirements on a per-certificate basis.

For example, set validation_result to cvrValid and validation_details to 0 in order to:

  • Ignore CA or TLS key usage requirements
  • Ignore the AuthorityKeyId extension in certificate-issuing CAs (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
  • Ignore the Basic Constraints or Name Constraints extensions of CA certificates
  • Tolerate some weaker algorithms
  • Implicitly trust self-signed certificates
  • Skip validity period checks for trusted certificates (helps with older devices that have expired root certificates)
  • Ignore chain loops (helps with buggy CAs that include subchains that sign themselves)
Based on the adjusted validity of the certificate that is currently being processed, the struct continues or aborts the chain validation procedure accordingly as if it had arrived at the chosen validation result itself.

NOTE: The user code is ultimately responsible for certificate validity decisions made via these two parameters. If their values are modified within this event, the resulting chain validation procedure may deviate from the standard.

on_document_info event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired when the document has been loaded into memory.

Syntax

// PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventArgs carries the PDFVerify DocumentInfo event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventArgs {
  fn page_count(&self) -> i32
  fn signature_count(&self) -> i32
}

// PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify DocumentInfo event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEvent {
  fn on_document_info(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_document_info(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEvent;
  pub fn set_on_document_info(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired once per document processing routine to report that the document has been processed and loaded into memory.

The handler for this event is a good place to check the document structure and access document-related information such as page number and document file details. These may be useful when preparing the signature. For example, get_page_property can be used to find the optimal position for the signature widget.

page_count reports the number of pages in the document.

signature_count reports the number of signatures in the document.

This event is fired when open is called, but only after on_password or on_recipient_info is fired (if applicable) and the document has been decrypted.

on_error event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

// PDFVerifyErrorEventArgs carries the PDFVerify Error event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifyErrorEventArgs {
  fn error_code(&self) -> i32
  fn description(&self) -> &String
}

// PDFVerifyErrorEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify Error event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifyErrorEvent {
  fn on_error(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifyErrorEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_error(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifyErrorEvent;
  pub fn set_on_error(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifyErrorEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the struct fails with an error.

The error_code parameter contains an error code, and the description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

on_log event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

// PDFVerifyLogEventArgs carries the PDFVerify Log event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifyLogEventArgs {
  fn log_level(&self) -> i32
  fn message(&self) -> &String
  fn log_type(&self) -> &String
}

// PDFVerifyLogEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify Log event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifyLogEvent {
  fn on_log(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifyLogEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_log(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifyLogEvent;
  pub fn set_on_log(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifyLogEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the struct. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel configuration setting.

log_level indicates the detail level of the message. Possible values are:

0 (None) No messages are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events such as the basics of the chain validation procedure are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data such as HTTP requests are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data including the full chain validation procedure are logged.

message is the log message.

log_type identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are:

  • CertValidator
  • Font
  • HTTP
  • PDFInvalidSignature
  • PDFRevocationInfo
  • Timestamp
  • TSL

on_password event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired when the struct detects that the document is encrypted with a password.

Syntax

// PDFVerifyPasswordEventArgs carries the PDFVerify Password event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifyPasswordEventArgs {
  fn available(&self) -> bool
  fn cancel(&self) -> bool
  fn set_cancel(&self, value : bool)
}

// PDFVerifyPasswordEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify Password event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifyPasswordEvent {
  fn on_password(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifyPasswordEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_password(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifyPasswordEvent;
  pub fn set_on_password(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifyPasswordEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired during document processing to report that the document is encrypted with a password. It may be used to supply the correct decryption password to password.

available indicates whether the decryption password is already available to the struct or still needs to be set. If this parameter is false, the correct password must be provided for the decryption attempt to succeed.

cancel determines whether the struct will stop firing this event to request a password.

on_recipient_info event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired for each recipient certificate of the encrypted document.

Syntax

// PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventArgs carries the PDFVerify RecipientInfo event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventArgs {
  fn issuer(&self) -> &String
  fn serial_number(&self) -> &String
  fn subject_key_identifier(&self) -> &String
  fn available(&self) -> bool
  fn cancel(&self) -> bool
  fn set_cancel(&self, value : bool)
}

// PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify RecipientInfo event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEvent {
  fn on_recipient_info(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_recipient_info(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEvent;
  pub fn set_on_recipient_info(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired during document processing for each recipient certificate that the document has been encrypted for (if applicable). It may be used to identify the certificate(s) to load and supply to decryption_cert.

issuer specifies the subject of the issuer certificate.

serial_number specifies the serial number of the encryption certificate.

subject_key_identifier specifies the X.509 subjectKeyIdentifier extension value of the encryption certificate, encoded as a hex string.

available indicates whether the decryption certificate is already available to the struct or still needs to be set. If this parameter is false, the correct certificate must be provided for the decryption attempt to succeed.

cancel determines whether the struct will stop firing this event to request a certificate.

NOTE: The document may be encrypted with more than one certificate (or have "more than one recipient"), in which case each certificate causes its own invocation of this event.

on_signature_info event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired when the struct finds a signature in the document.

Syntax

// PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventArgs carries the PDFVerify SignatureInfo event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventArgs {
  fn signature_index(&self) -> i32
  fn validate_signature(&self) -> bool
  fn set_validate_signature(&self, value : bool)
  fn validate_chain(&self) -> bool
  fn set_validate_chain(&self, value : bool)
}

// PDFVerifySignatureInfoEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify SignatureInfo event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifySignatureInfoEvent {
  fn on_signature_info(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_signature_info(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifySignatureInfoEvent;
  pub fn set_on_signature_info(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifySignatureInfoEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired once for each signature found in the document to report that it is about to be validated.

signature_index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. validate_signature and validate_chain determine whether each stage should be included in the validation. They can be overridden to modify the validation policy on a per-signature basis, allowing signatures to be verified individually instead of all at once (via verify). To skip validation entirely, set both parameters to false.

Use the following properties to adjust chain validation parameters:

on_signature_processed event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired after a signature has been processed.

Syntax

// PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventArgs carries the PDFVerify SignatureProcessed event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventArgs {
  fn signature_index(&self) -> i32
  fn signature_validation_result(&self) -> i32
  fn chain_validation_result(&self) -> i32
  fn chain_validation_details(&self) -> i32
}

// PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify SignatureProcessed event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEvent {
  fn on_signature_processed(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_signature_processed(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEvent;
  pub fn set_on_signature_processed(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired once for each signature found in the document to report that it has completed validation. It is fired after on_signature_info if that event's validate_signature parameter is set to true.

signature_index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each in signature_validation_result and chain_validation_result.

The former reports the validity of the signature and can be one of the following values:

0 (svrUnknown - default) Signature validity is unknown.
1 (svrValid) The signature is valid.
2 (svrCorrupted) The signature is corrupted.
3 (svrSignerNotFound) Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.
4 (svrFailure) General failure.

The latter reports the validity of the chain and can be one of the following values:

0 (cvrUnknown - default) Chain validity is unknown.
1 (cvrValid) The chain is valid.
2 (cvrValidButUntrusted) The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted.
3 (cvrInvalid) The chain is not valid (some of the certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature).
4 (cvrCantBeEstablished) The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses).

In the case of a failure, chain_validation_details provides more details on its reasons. Its value is a bitmask of the following flags:

0x001 (cvdRevoked) One or more certificates are revoked.
0x002 (cvdExpiredOrNotYetValid) One or more certificates are expired or not yet valid.
0x004 (cvdUnknownCA) A CA certificate for one or more certificates has not been found, is not trusted, or has a wrong public key (chain incomplete).
0x008 (cvdPolicyViolated) One of the CA certificates is not authorized to act as a CA, a mandatory key usage is not enabled in one of the chain certificates, or a weak algorithm is used in one of the certificates or revocation elements.
0x010 (cvdRevocationCheckFailed) One or more CRLs or OCSP responses could not be verified.
0x020 (cvdBlocked) One or more certificates are blocked.
0x040 (cvdFailure) General validation failure.

NOTE: signature_validation_result, chain_validation_result, and chain_validation_details are also available as properties in the PDFSignature type.

on_ssl_server_authentication event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

// PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs carries the PDFVerify SSLServerAuthentication event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs {
  fn cert_encoded(&self) -> &[u8]
  fn cert_subject(&self) -> &String
  fn cert_issuer(&self) -> &String
  fn status(&self) -> &String
  fn accept(&self) -> bool
  fn set_accept(&self, value : bool)
}

// PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify SSLServerAuthentication event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEvent {
  fn on_ssl_server_authentication(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_ssl_server_authentication(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEvent;
  pub fn set_on_ssl_server_authentication(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifySSLServerAuthenticationEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired during timestamping or chain validation after the server presents its SSL/TLS certificate to the struct. It only applies if the TSA, CRL, OCSP, or Trusted List endpoint operates over HTTPS.

During this event, the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process. accept is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue.

When accept is false, status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting accept to true.

on_ssl_status event (PDFVerify Struct)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

// PDFVerifySSLStatusEventArgs carries the PDFVerify SSLStatus event's parameters.
pub struct PDFVerifySSLStatusEventArgs {
  fn message(&self) -> &String
}

// PDFVerifySSLStatusEvent defines the signature of the PDFVerify SSLStatus event's handler function.
pub trait PDFVerifySSLStatusEvent {
  fn on_ssl_status(&self, sender : PDFVerify, e : &mut PDFVerifySSLStatusEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PDFVerify<'a> {
  pub fn on_ssl_status(&self) -> &'a dyn PDFVerifySSLStatusEvent;
  pub fn set_on_ssl_status(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PDFVerifySSLStatusEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired during timestamping or chain validation for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the SSL/TLS connection. It only applies if the TSA, CRL, OCSP, or Trusted List endpoint operates over HTTPS.

Config Settings (PDFVerify Struct)

The struct accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

PDFVerify Config Settings

CacheRevocationInfo:   Whether to cache revocation information.

This setting specifies whether the struct caches revocation information. If set to true, the struct preserves downloaded CRLs and OCSP responses in memory and reuses them in subsequent chain validations. If set to false, the struct always collects revocation information from scratch (when applicable). The default value is true.

CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing:   Whether to close the input stream after processing.

This setting determines whether the input stream specified in set_input_stream will be closed after processing is complete. The default value is true.

CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing:   Whether to close the output stream after processing.

This setting determines whether the output stream specified in set_output_stream will be closed after processing is complete. The default value is true.

ContactInfo[Index]:   The signer's contact information.

This indexed setting returns the signer's contact information for a signature. index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection. This setting is read-only.

EnforcePDFA:   Whether to enforce PDF/A compliance.

This setting specifies whether the struct enforces PDF/A compliance when operating on the document. If set to true, PDFALevel and PDFAPolicy are used to establish the level of PDF/A compliance to apply. The default value is false.

FilterName[Index]:   The signature filter name.

This indexed setting returns the signature filter name. index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection. This setting is read-only.

FullSignatureName[Index]:   The full name of the signature field.

This indexed setting returns the full name of the signature field. It is an internal identifier of a signature (such as Signature1) and is not meant to be human-readable.

index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection. This setting is read-only.

HTTPRetryCount:   The number of HTTP request retries.

This setting specifies the number of times to retry an HTTP request. It can be useful in the case of timestamping or CRL/OCSP retrieval failures.

HTTPRetryInterval:   A time interval to apply between HTTP request retries.

This setting specifies the time interval (in seconds) to apply between successive HTTP request retries. It can be useful in the case of timestamping or CRL/OCSP retrieval failures.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the on_log event. Possible values are:

0 (None) No messages are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events such as the basics of the chain validation procedure are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data such as HTTP requests are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data including the full chain validation procedure are logged.
OwnerPassword:   The owner password to decrypt the document with.

This setting is used to provide the document owner password for decryption. Though it may be different from password, most implementations use the same value for both.

PDFALevel:   The PDF/A conformance level to enforce.

This setting specifies the desired PDF/A conformance level that the struct attempts to enforce when EnforcePDFA is set to true. Possible values are:

1 PDF/A-1
2 PDF/A-2
3 (default) PDF/A-3
PDFAPolicy:   The PDF/A policy to follow.

This setting specifies the PDF/A policy the struct follows when EnforcePDFA is set to true. Possible values are:

Default Maps to Preserve.
Preserve Keep existing document features and only write PDF/A-compliant pieces. If the struct needs to write a non-compliant piece, it throws an exception.
Enforce Preserve PDF/A-compliant pieces and attempt to fix violations in the original document.
Permissions:   The document permissions associated with the encryption.

This setting returns the permissions protected by this encryption. The PDF specification expects applications to comply with these permissions when handling encrypted documents, but note that it is a policy-like requirement rather than an enforcement.

This setting is read-only. Its value is a bitmask of the following flags:

0x001 (pepAnnotations) Annotating is allowed.
0x002 (pepAssemble) Assembling a new document on the basis of the processed one is allowed.
0x004 (pepExtract) Extraction/copying of the pictures and text from the document is allowed.
0x008 (pepExtractAcc) Content extraction is allowed for accessibility purposes only.
0x010 (pepFillInForms) Filling in forms is allowed.
0x020 (pepHighQualityPrint) High quality printing is allowed.
0x040 (pepLowQualityPrint) Low quality printing is allowed.
0x080 (pepModify) Modifications are allowed.

PreferEmbeddedRevocationInfo:   Whether to prioritize revocation information that is embedded into the document.

This setting specifies whether the struct uses revocation information that is embedded into the document when checking revocation status. If set to true, the struct does not download CRLs or OCSP responses from online sources unnecessarily. If set to false or no embedded revocation information is present, the struct retrieves it as normal based on the value of revocation_check. The default value is true.

RevisionOffsets:   The offsets of the document revisions.

This setting returns a comma-separated list of the byte offsets of all the revisions in the document. It may be used to obtain the number of revisions or extract a particular revision. This setting is read-only.

SaveChanges:   Whether to save changes made to the document.

This setting specifies whether and how changes made to the PDF document are saved when close is called. Possible values are:

0 Discard all changes.
1 Save the document to output_file, output_data, or the stream set in set_output_stream, even if it has not been modified.
2 (default) Save the document to output_file, output_data, or the stream set in set_output_stream, but only if it has been modified.
SignatureAllowedChanges[Index]:   The changes allowed by the signature.

This indexed setting returns the scope of further changes to the document allowed by the signature. index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection.

This setting is read-only. Its value is a bitmask of the following flags:

0x001 (PDF_SIGNATURE_ALLOWED_CHANGE_FILL_IN_FORMS) The signature allows filling in forms.
0x002 (PDF_SIGNATURE_ALLOWED_CHANGE_COMMENT) The signature allows adding comments.

A value of 0 indicates that no changes are allowed.

SignatureData[Index]:   The hex-encoded representation of the underlying PKCS#7/CMS signature container.

This indexed setting returns the hex-encoded representation of the underlying PKCS#7/CMS signature container, or the timestamp token for document timestamps. index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection. This setting is read-only.

SignatureInvertedLock[Index]:   Whether the locked field list should be treated as containing unlocked fields instead.

This indexed setting indicates whether the list returned by SignatureLockedFields[Index] should be treated in the opposite way, as a list of the only unlocked form fields. All other fields that are not present in the list are locked. This setting can only return true if an explicit list of field names is returned.

index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection. This setting is read-only.

SignatureLockedFields[Index]:   The list of form fields that are locked by the signature.

This indexed setting returns a list of form fields that are locked for modification by the signature. index is the index of the signature in the signatures collection.

This setting is read-only. Depending on the method chosen by the author of the document, this setting may return one of the following values:

  • A comma-separated list of field names (see also SignatureInvertedLock[Index]).
  • An asterisk character (*), to indicate that all the form fields are locked.
  • An empty string, to indicate that no locking information is provided in the document.

TempPath:   The location where temporary files are stored.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. It can be useful to reduce memory usage.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a struct is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitiveData:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the struct will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the struct to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
