SignExternal Method

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

Syntax

void __fastcall SignExternal(int Level, bool Detached);

Remarks

Use this method to create a CAdES signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignRemote delegates the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.

When all preparations are done and hash is computed, the component fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.

Set Detached to True to generate a detached (stored in a separate message) signature.

CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:

cslUnknown0Unknown signature level

cslBES1BES (Basic Electronic Signature)

cslEPES2EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy)

cslT3T (Timestamped)

cslC4C (T with revocation references)

cslXType15X Type 1 (C with an ES-C timestamp)

cslXType26X Type 2 (C with a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)

cslXLType17XL Type 1 (C with revocation values and an ES-C timestamp)

cslXLType28XL Type 2 (C with revocation values and a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)

cslBaselineB9Baseline B (B-B, basic)

cslBaselineT10Baseline T (B-T, timestamped)

cslBaselineLT11Baseline LT (B-LT, long-term)

cslBaselineLTA12Baseline LTA (B-LTA, long-term with archived timestamp)

cslExtendedBES13Extended BES

cslExtendedEPES14Extended EPES

cslExtendedT15Extended T

cslExtendedC16Extended C

cslExtendedXType117Extended X Type 1

cslExtendedXType218Extended X Type 2
