The PDFSigner module signs PDF documents digitally.

Syntax

SecureBlackbox.PDFSigner

Remarks

PDFSigner can sign PDF documents in accordance with a selection of PDF and PAdES signature standards. PDFSigner signer = new PDFSigner(); // Set the PDF document that you want to sign signer.setInputFile("MyDocument.pdf"); // Set the path where you want the signed document to be saved signer.setOutputFile("Signed.pdf"); // The certificate which the document will be signed with signer.setSigningCertificate(new Certificate("Cert.pfx","password")); // The signature level signer.getNewSignature().setLevel(PDFSignature.paslBaselineT); signer.getNewSignature().setHashAlgorithm("SHA512"); // Hashing algorithm used for signing, default SHA256 signer.setTimestampServer("https://..."); // The address of the timestamping server signer.sign();

Standards and technologies supported

PDFSigner can create PDF signatures that match the following baseline standards:

  • Generic PDF signatures (ISO 32000)
  • PAdES: all profiles are supported (BES, EPES, T, LTV, B-B, B-T, and others) (ETSI EN 319 142-1 and others)
  • Signature and document timestamps using external TSAs.
  • All industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, SHA256-512, and many others).

Configuring the signature spec

Configuring PDFSigner to produce signatures of the right type is one of the most important questions you need to address. Normally the service or software you will be communicating your PDF documents to will provide you with the list of requirements that your signatures should match.

Typically, those will dictate the following key aspects of the signatures:

  • Level (BES, T, or LTV). This can be adjusted with the property (Note: when creating EPES signatures you need to provide the signature and properties).
  • Timestamp requirement: provide the address of your online TSA service via the TimestampServer property.
  • When creating LTV signatures, tune up validation parameters via the RevocationCheck, OfflineMode, and IgnoreChainValidationErrors properties.
  • To create a document timestamp, sign your document first, and then sign the result again with set to pslDocumentTimestamp and TimestampServer pointing to the TSA URL.

Signing certificates

PDFSigner can use certificates residing on different media. Besides generic certificates stored in PFX or PEM files (A1), it can operate with non-exportable certificates residing on hardware media (A3) or in the cloud.

Non-exportable certificates can be accessed transparently via a Windows CSP or a PKCS#11 driver, if supplied by the certificate issuer. Proprietary interfaces can be plugged in with the external signing feature (see below).

You can use the CertificateManager and CertificateStorage classes to load the signing certificate. Assign the certificate to the SigningCertificate property, and optionally provide the remainder of its chain via the SigningChain property.

Note: If signing with a non-exportable key (such as residing on a hardware device or in the cloud), please make sure you keep the original CertificateStorage object open until the signing is completed. This is because the storage class provides a 'bridge' to the private key. If the storage is closed prematurely, this bridge is destroyed, and the private key can't be used.

You don't need to provide a signing certificate or chain when creating document timestamp signatures, since this type of signature is done with a TSA's certificate.

Widget adjustment

PDFSigner provides means to customize the look of the signature widget to be shown on the document page. Create your very own signatures in the form of your company's logo, a handwritten signature, or a wet seal.

Alternatively, you can choose not to associate any widget with your signature by setting to true.

Please check out this self-describing PDF document for good guidance on widget positioning, background styles, and text formatting.

Signing the document

Now that you have set up all signature, certificate, and widget properties, it is time to sign. You can provide the input document in one of the following forms: as a file (assign the path to the InputFile property), as a stream (assign to the InputStream property), or as a byte array (assign to InputBytes). Similarly, the output can be collected in one of the same forms, either by passing the destination path or stream via OutputFile and OutputStream respectively, or by reading the resulting document bytes from the OutputBytes property after the signing.

Having set up the input and output, call the class's Sign method. This will initiate the signing process. Depending on the settings, the signing may be as straightforward as calculating the document hash and signing it with the private key (e.g. in the PAdES-BES signing variant), or it may involve advanced chain validation routines (PAdES-LTV). During the latter, the class may contact a number of external revocation information sources (CRL and OCSP servers) to establish the validity of the signing certificate.

If a TSA server was provided via the TimestampServer property, the class will contact it too to timestamp the new signature.

During the signing, PDFSigner may fire events to let your code know of certain conditions. If the input document is encrypted but no decryption parameters were found in the Password and DecryptionCertificate properties, the class will fire the Encrypted event to tell your code that it needs decryption information to be able to continue with the signing. It may fire TLSCertValidate if one of the HTTP endpoints involved during the operation (which may be a CRL, OCSP, or TSA service) works over TLS and needs its certificate to be validated.

External signing and DCAuth

PDFSigner, like many other classes offered by the product, supports two methods of signing with external keys. These methods are fully independent of each other: you can choose the one that suits your usage scenario best.

Synchronous method: ExternalSign

This is a simpler method that basically lets you infiltrate into the heart of the signing routine by taking care of the hash signing operation. The class does the rest of the job (hash calculation, preparation of signature objects, CRL/OCSP retrieval).

To initiate this method, call SignExternal instead of Sign. When the hash is ready, it will be passed back to your code with the ExternalSign event. Your event handler needs to sign the hash with the private key and return the created signature back to the class - which will embed it into the document.

You don't need your signing certificate to contain an associated private key when using this method. The certificate itself (its public copy) may be needed though, as it is often included in the hash calculation.

This method is synchronous, meaning SignExternal provides you the results immediately upon its completion.

Asynchronous method: DCAuth

DCAuth is a SecureBlackbox know-how technology. This protocol was designed to allow sharing of private keys across environments, allowing the signer and the private key to reside on different systems. It works in the following way:

  • The signing party - such as PDFSigner - initiates the operation using a SignAsyncBegin call. This produces two outcomes: a pre-signed document (a document with a blank signature placeholder), and a request state (an object containing a hash that needs to be signed). At this point the PDFSigner instance can be released, and the process itself terminated (which may be useful when run as part of a web page).
  • The request state is passed to the private key holder party. The private key holder passes the request state to a DCAuth object, which parses the request state, extracts the hash, and signs it. The output of DCAuth processing is another object, a response state, which contains the signature. The private key holder then sends the response state back to the signing party.
  • The signing party re-creates the classes and passes the response state, together with the pre-signed version of the document, to the signer's SignAsyncEnd method. SignAsyncEnd extracts the signature from the response state and incorporates it into the pre-signed document.

This method is asynchronous in that sense that from the signing party's viewpoint, it splits the signing operation into the pre-signing and completion stages which can be performed independently from each other and in different execution contexts. This makes this method particularly helpful for use in web pages and other scenarios where the signing key is not available in real time.

Fine-grained chain validation setup

Chain validation is a sophisticated, multi-faceted 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 tune up your chain validation parameters so they fit them best. A summary of such parameters is given below.

  • RevocationCheck lets you choose between and/or prioritize revocation origins. OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of validation tokens they produce.
  • OfflineMode is a master switch that stops the class from looking for any validation tokens online. If this property is switched on, the class will only use the KnownCertificates, TrustedCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs collections to look for the missing validation material.
  • IgnoreChainValidationErrors makes the class ignore any major validation issues it encounters (such us an untrusted chain or missing CRL). This option is handy for debugging and for creating signatures in the environments where the signing certificate is not trusted.
  • KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs let you provide your own validation material. This may be useful when working in OfflineMode, where the signer has no access to the validation sources, or where the validation material has already been collected.
  • TrustedCertificates lets you provide a list of trust anchors, either as a complement to the system's or as an alternative to it.
  • BlockedCertificates lets you provide a list of blocked/distrusted certificates. Any CA certificate contained in it will be deemed untrusted/invalid.

The following parameters are not directly related to chain validation, but may have an implicit effect on it.

  • Proxy, SocketSettings, and TLSSettings let you tune up the connectivity and TLS options in accordance with local preferences.
  • TLSClientChain lets you provide the client certificate and its chain for TLS client authentication.
  • Subscribe to TLSCertValidate to validate any TLS certificates of the services involved in chain validation.

The results of the chain validation procedure, upon its completion, are published in the following properties:

  • ChainValidationResult contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined.
  • ChainValidationDetails 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.
  • ValidationLog contains the detailed chain validation log. The log can often be very helpful in nailing down various validation issues.

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the class manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.

KnownCRLs Property (PDFSigner Module)

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

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. 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 some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is 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 setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL 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 "crcAll*" 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 will be 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.

TimestampServer Property (PDFSigner Module)

The address of the timestamping server.

Syntax

public var timestampServer: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timestampServer,setter=setTimestampServer:) NSString* timestampServer;

- (NSString*)timestampServer;
- (void)setTimestampServer :(NSString*)newTimestampServer;

Default Value

""

Remarks

Use this property to provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature.

SecureBlackbox supports RFC3161-compliant timestamping servers, available via HTTP or HTTPS.

If your timestamping service enforces credential-based user authentication (basic or digest), you can provide the credentials in the same URL:

http://user:password@timestamp.server.com/TsaService

For TSAs using certificate-based TLS authentication, provide the client certificate via the TLSClientChain property.

If this property is left empty, no timestamp will be added to the signature.

Starting from summer 2021 update (Vol. 2), the virtual timestamping service is supported, which allows you to intervene in the timestamping routine and provide your own handling for the TSA exchange. This may be handy if the service that you are requesting timestamps from uses a non-standard TSP protocol or requires special authentication option.

To employ the virtual service, assign an URI of the following format to this property:

virtual://localhost?hashonly=true&amp;includecerts=true&amp;reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&amp;halg=SHA256&amp;ignorenonce=true

Subscribe to Notification event to get notified about the virtualized timestamping event. The EventID of the timestamping event is TimestampRequest. Inside the event handler, read the base16-encoded request from the EventParam parameter and forward it to the timestamping authority. Upon receiving the response, pass it back to the component, encoded in base16, via the TimestampResponse config property:

component.Config("TimestampResponse=308208ab...");

Note that all the exchange with your custom TSA should take place within the same invocation of the Notification event.

The hashonly parameter of the virtual URI tells the component to only return the timestamp message imprint via the EventParam parameter. If set to false, EventParam will contain the complete RFC3161 timestamping request.

The includecerts parameter specifies that the requestCertificates parameter of the timestamping request should be set to true.

The reqpolicy parameter lets you specify the request policy, and the halg parameter specifies the hash algorithm to use for timestamping.

The ignorenonce parameter allows you to switch off client nonce verification to enable compatibility with TSA services that do not support nonce mirroring.

All the parameters are optional.

TLSClientChain Property (PDFSigner Module)

The TLS client certificate chain.

Syntax

public var tlsClientChain: Array<Certificate> {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=TLSClientCertCount,setter=setTLSClientCertCount:) int TLSClientCertCount;

- (int)TLSClientCertCount;
- (void)setTLSClientCertCount :(int)newTLSClientCertCount;

- (NSData*)TLSClientCertBytes:(int)tLSClientCertIndex;

- (long long)TLSClientCertHandle:(int)tLSClientCertIndex;
- (void)setTLSClientCertHandle:(int)tLSClientCertIndex :(long long)newTLSClientCertHandle;

Default Value

"#auto"

Remarks

Assign a certificate chain to this property to enable TLS client authentication in the class. Note that the client's end-entity certificate should have a private key associated with it.

Use the CertificateStorage or CertificateManager components to import the certificate from a file, system store, or PKCS11 device.

TLSServerChain Property (PDFSigner Module)

TrustedCertificates Property (PDFSigner Module)

A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

public var trustedCertificates: Array<Certificate> {
  get {...}
}

- (int)trustedCertCount;
- (void)setTrustedCertCount :(int)newTrustedCertCount;

- (NSData*)trustedCertBytes:(int)trustedCertIndex;

- (long long)trustedCertHandle:(int)trustedCertIndex;
- (void)setTrustedCertHandle:(int)trustedCertIndex :(long long)newTrustedCertHandle;

Default Value

"#auto"

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of trusted certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when root CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.

The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.

Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.

ValidationMoment Property (PDFSigner Module)

The time point at which signature validity is to be established.

Syntax

Default Value

""

Remarks

Use this property to specify the moment in time at which signature validity should be established. The time is in UTC. Leave the setting empty to stick to the default moment (either the signature creation time or the current time).

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.

Config Method (PDFSigner Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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.

DoAction Method (PDFSigner Module)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

public func doAction(actionID: String, actionParams: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)doAction:(NSString*)actionID :(NSString*)actionParams;

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.

ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....

Common ActionIDs:

ActionParametersReturned valueDescription
ResetTrustedListCachenonenoneClears the cached list of trusted lists.
ResetCertificateCachenonenoneClears the cached certificates.

Sample code to add a JPEG image of size 100px x 100px and place it in position (10, 10) with an image size (30, 30): Signer.DoAction("AddImage", "ImageData=" + Utils.HexEncode(BinaryImageData) + "; ImageWidth=100; ImageHeight=100; ImageType=jpeg; X=10; Y=10; Width=30; Height=30");

Use "GetTextWidth" action to calculate the width of the given text for a specific font. The following parameters are supported:

"Text"Represent the text string for which you want to determine the width.
"FontName"The font name or TrueType filename. It supports the same values as Widget.FontName property.
"FontSize"The horizontal font size of the text. If omitted, the width of the text returned in units, and the width for a specific font size could be calculated by the formula: (Width / 1000) * FontSize

Sample code: Signer.DoAction("GetTextWidth", "Text=Lorem Ipsum; FontSize=10; FontName=Arial Bold Italic");

Use "GetSystemFontNames" action to get a CRLF-separated list of system TrueType font names that the component supports.

Use "IsAllGlyphsAvailable" action to check if all glyphs that correspond to the given text are available for a specific font. The following parameters are required:

"Text"Represent the text string that you want to check.

Following the call, the relevant pieces of information will be copied to the respective component properties (Certificates, CRLs, OCSPs). Note that you can accumulate information in the properties by making repeated calls to SelectInfo and keeping ClearSelection set to false.

This method is useful if you would like to read/display detailed information about a particular signature or timestamp.

Sign Method (PDFSigner Module)

Signs a PDF document.

Syntax

public func sign() throws -> Void
- (void)sign;

Remarks

Call this method to sign the document referenced by the InputFile (or InputStream) property. The document will be signed with SigningCertificate as configured in NewSignature, and saved in OutputFile (OutputStream).

Use TrustedCertificates, KnownCertificates, RevocationCheck, OfflineMode and other properties of the class to adjust chain validation parameters. After the signing, the chain validation log will be available in the property.

SignAsyncBegin Method (PDFSigner Module)

Initiates the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

public func signAsyncBegin() throws -> String
- (NSString*)signAsyncBegin;

Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method to initiate the asynchronous signing process. Upon completion, a pre-signed copy of the document will be saved in OutputFile (or OutputStream). Keep the pre-signed copy somewhere local, and pass the returned string ('the request state') to the DC processor for handling.

Upon receiving the response state from the DC processor, assign the path to the pre-signed copy to InputFile (or InputStream), and call SignAsyncEnd to finalize the signing.

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID property to supply a unique document ID to include in the request. This is helpful when creating batches of multiple async requests, as it allows you to pass the whole response batch to SignAsyncEnd and expect it to recover the correct response from the batch automatically.

AsyncState is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. The DC protocol is based on the exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the SignAsyncBegin method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

There are some conditions that should be met when signing PDF documents asynchronously. The advanced PDF signature levels, specifically BES, EPES, and LTV, require that the 'signingCertificate' attribute is included in the signature. This can only be satisfied if either ExternalCrypto is configured to use the asmdPKCS7 method, or the public copy of the signing certificate is provided on the pre-signing stage.

Please note that you will still be able to sign a document with the asmdPKCS1 method and no public copy of the certificate provided (resulting in the omission of the 'signingCertificate' attribute from the signature); however, most modern PDF processors will reject such signatures as invalid or non-compliant.

SignAsyncEnd Method (PDFSigner Module)

Completes the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

public func signAsyncEnd(asyncReply: String) throws -> Void
- (void)signAsyncEnd:(NSString*)asyncReply;

Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method upon receiving the response state from the DC processor to complete the asynchronous signing process.

Before calling this method, assign the path to the pre-signed copy of the document obtained from the prior SignAsyncBegin call to InputFile (or InputStream). The method will embed the signature into the pre-signed document, and save the complete signed document to OutputFile (or OutputStream).

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID parameter to pass a specific document ID if using batched AsyncReply. If used, it should match the value provided on the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) stage.

AsyncState is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. The DC protocol is based on the exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the SignAsyncBegin method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

SignExternal Method (PDFSigner Module)

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

Syntax

public func signExternal() throws -> Void
- (void)signExternal;

Remarks

Use this method to create a PDF signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignExternal 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 the hash is computed, the class fires the ExternalSign event which allows the hash value to be passed for signing.

Update Method (PDFSigner Module)

Updates a signature.

Syntax

public func update(sigLabel: String) throws -> Void
- (void)update:(NSString*)sigLabel;

Remarks

PDF signatures may be updated from time to time by embedding newer/missing revocation information. The update approach is typically used to extend the validity of an LTV signature. Set SigLabel to the label of the signature field to update.

Updating is typically accompanied with a document timestamping operation. Set TimestampServer to have the class obtain and embed a document timestamp for you.

Before calling this method, provide the signed document via the InputFile (or InputStream) property. The updated document will be saved to OutputFile (or OutputStream).

ChainElementDownload Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when there is a need to download a chain element from an online source.

Syntax

func onChainElementDownload(kind: Int32, certRDN: String, caCertRDN: String, location: String, action: inout Int32)
- (void)onChainElementDownload:(int)kind :(NSString*)certRDN :(NSString*)CACertRDN :(NSString*)location :(int*)action;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about validation element retrievals. Use the Action parameter to suppress the download if required.

veaContinue1Accept the request implied by the event (accept the certificate, allow the object retrieval)

veaReject2Reject the request implied by the event (reject the certificate, disallow the object retrieval)

veaAcceptNow3Accept the validated certificate immediately

veaAbortNow4Abort the validation, reject the certificate

cekUnknown0Unknown or unsupported element type

cekCertificate1An X.509 certificate

cekCRL2A CRL

ChainElementNeeded Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when an element required to validate the chain was not located.

Syntax

func onChainElementNeeded(kind: Int32, certRDN: String, caCertRDN: String)
- (void)onChainElementNeeded:(int)kind :(NSString*)certRDN :(NSString*)CACertRDN;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about missing validation elements. Use the KnownCRLs, KnownCertificates, and KnownOCSPs properties in the event handler to provide the missing piece.

cekUnknown0Unknown or unsupported element type

cekCertificate1An X.509 certificate

cekCRL2A CRL

cekOCSP3An OCSP response

ChainValidated Event (PDFSigner Module)

Reports the completion of a certificate chain validation.

Syntax

func onChainValidated(index: Int32, entityLabel: String, subjectRDN: String, validationResult: Int32, validationDetails: Int32, cancel: inout Bool)
- (void)onChainValidated:(int)index :(NSString*)entityLabel :(NSString*)subjectRDN :(int)validationResult :(int)validationDetails :(int*)cancel;

Remarks

This event is fired when a certificate chain validation routine completes. SubjectRDN identifies the owner of the validated certificate.

ValidationResult set to 0 (zero) indicates successful chain validation.

cvtValid0The chain is valid

cvtValidButUntrusted1The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted

cvtInvalid2The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature)

cvtCantBeEstablished3The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses)

Any other value reports a failure, and ValidationDetails provides more details on its reasons.
cvrBadData0x0001One or more certificates in the validation path are malformed

cvrRevoked0x0002One or more certificates are revoked

cvrNotYetValid0x0004One or more certificates are not yet valid

ChainValidationProgress Event (PDFSigner Module)

This event is fired multiple times during chain validation to report various stages of the validation procedure.

Syntax

func onChainValidationProgress(eventKind: String, certRDN: String, caCertRDN: String, action: inout Int32)
- (void)onChainValidationProgress:(NSString*)eventKind :(NSString*)certRDN :(NSString*)CACertRDN :(int*)action;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about chain validation progress. Use the Action parameter to alter the validation flow.

The EventKind parameter reports the nature of the event being reported. The CertRDN and CACertRDN parameters report the distinguished names of the certificates that are relevant for the event invocation (one or both can be empty, depending on EventKind). Use the Action parameter to adjust the validation flow.

veaAuto0Handle the action automatically (the default behaviour)

veaContinue1Accept the request implied by the event (accept the certificate, allow the object retrieval)

veaReject2Reject the request implied by the event (reject the certificate, disallow the object retrieval)

veaAcceptNow3Accept the validated certificate immediately

veaAbortNow4Abort the validation, reject the certificate

DocumentLoaded Event (PDFSigner Module)

This event is fired when the document has been loaded into memory.

Syntax

func onDocumentLoaded(cancel: inout Bool)
- (void)onDocumentLoaded:(int*)cancel;

Remarks

The handler for this event is a good place to check the document structure, which may be useful when preparing the signature. For example, you can use the Pages information to find the optimal position for the signature widget.

Set Cancel to true to terminate document processing on this stage.

Encrypted Event (PDFSigner Module)

Notifies the application that the document is encrypted and provides recipient certificate details if asymmetric encryption was used to encrypt the document.

Syntax

func onEncrypted(certUsed: Bool, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, needCredential: Bool, skipThis: inout Bool)
- (void)onEncrypted:(BOOL)certUsed :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(BOOL)needCredential :(int*)skipThis;

Remarks

The class fires this event when processing encrypted documents to report the fact of encryption and pass certificate parameters to the user.

This event fires repeatedly for each encryption mechanism used in the document until the user provides the correct credential via the DecryptionCertificate or Password property (depending on the encryption method used), or sets SkipThis to true.

The CertUsed parameter specifies the encryption method used. If set to true, it indicates that the document uses asymmetric (certificate-based) encryption. In that case, the IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters provide the details of the encryption certificate. Note that the document can be encrypted with more than one certificate (or have "more than one recipient"), in which case each certificate will invoke its own Encrypted event loop.

CertUsed set to false indicates that the document uses password encryption. In this case, provide the password via the Password property.

The NeedCredential parameter specifies whether the correct credential is already available to the class or still needs to be set. One example where NeedCredential would be set to false is where it had been provided by the application prior to processing the document (e.g. by setting the Password property to a known pre-defined value). If NeedCredential is set to true, you must provide the valid credential for the decryption process to succeed.

Error Event (PDFSigner Module)

Information about errors during signing/validation.

Syntax

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during PDF processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.

ExternalDecrypt Event (PDFSigner Module)

Handles remote or external decryption.

Syntax

func onExternalDecrypt(operationId: String, algorithm: String, pars: String, encryptedData: String, data: inout String)
- (void)onExternalDecrypt:(NSString*)operationId :(NSString*)algorithm :(NSString*)pars :(NSString*)encryptedData :(NSString**)data;

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level decryption operation to an external, remote, or custom decryption engine. The handler receives an encrypted value in the EncryptedData parameter, and is expected to decrypt it and place the decrypted value into the Data parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. Algorithm specifies the encryption algorithm being used, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the EncryptedData, Data, and Pars parameters. If your decryption engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the decryption.

Sample data encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

ExternalSign Event (PDFSigner Module)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.

Syntax

func onExternalSign(operationId: String, hashAlgorithm: String, pars: String, data: String, signedData: inout String)
- (void)onExternalSign:(NSString*)operationId :(NSString*)hashAlgorithm :(NSString*)pars :(NSString*)data :(NSString**)signedData;

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the class via the SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

Notification Event (PDFSigner Module)

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

Syntax

func onNotification(eventID: String, eventParam: String)
- (void)onNotification:(NSString*)eventID :(NSString*)eventParam;

Remarks

The class fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the class. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier of the event is provided in the EventID parameter. EventParam contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This class can fire this event with the following EventID values:

DocumentLoadedReports the completion of PDF document processing by the component. Use the event handler to access document-related information, such as page number and document file details. The EventParam value passed with this EventID is empty.
BeforeTimestampThis event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings.
TimestampErrorThis event is only fired if the class failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info.
TimestampRequestA timestamp is requested from the custom timestamping authority. This event is only fired if TimestampServer was set to a virtual:// URI. The EventParam parameter contains the TSP request (or the plain hash, depending on the value provided to TimestampServer), in base16, that needs to be sent to the TSA.

Use the event handler to send the request to the TSA. Upon receiving the response, assign it, in base16, to the TimestampResponse configuration property.

BeforeDocumentTimestampThis event is fired before adding document timestamp. Use the event handler to modify signature settings.
SignatureWidgetPrepareAnother copy of the signature widget needs to be configured. Use the event handler to configure individual widgets when creating multi-widget signatures. The Notification event with this event ID will be fired repeatedly until the LastSignatureWidget configuration setting is set to true.

The EventParam value passed with this EventID is empty.

SignaturesLoadedNotifies the application that the component has finished loading signatures.

PreRenderWidget Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when a signature widget is ready to be written to the document.

Syntax

func onPreRenderWidget(addAnother: inout Bool, resetAnother: inout Bool)
- (void)onPreRenderWidget:(int*)addAnother :(int*)resetAnother;

Remarks

The class fires this event when it is ready to insert a new instance of the signature widget to the document. This event is fired repeatedly until the event handler sets the AddAnother parameter to false, allowing your application to create as many copies of the signature widget as required.

You can use this event handler to adjust the look of each widget copy. Set the ResetAnother parameter to true to automatically clean up all the existing widget settings after the current widget is saved. Setting ResetAnother to true will let you start every new widget from scratch. Keeping it set to false would result in every new widget looking the same as the previous one.

SignatureFound Event (PDFSigner Module)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

func onSignatureFound(index: Int32, entityLabel: String, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, certFound: Bool, validateSignature: inout Bool, validateChain: inout Bool)
- (void)onSignatureFound:(int)index :(NSString*)entityLabel :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(BOOL)certFound :(int*)validateSignature :(int*)validateChain;

Remarks

This event tells the application that signature validation is about to start, and provides the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters. It fires for every signature located in the verified document or message.

The CertFound parameter is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the KnownCertificates property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the and properties respectively.

Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

SignatureValidated Event (PDFSigner Module)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

Syntax

func onSignatureValidated(index: Int32, entityLabel: String, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, validationResult: Int32, cancel: inout Bool)
- (void)onSignatureValidated:(int)index :(NSString*)entityLabel :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(int)validationResult :(int*)cancel;

Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the signature validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

Use the IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and/or SubjectKeyID parameters to identify the signing certificate.

ValidationResult is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a validation failure.

svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

TimestampFound Event (PDFSigner Module)

Signifies the start of a timestamp validation routine.

Syntax

func onTimestampFound(index: Int32, entityLabel: String, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, certFound: Bool, validateTimestamp: inout Bool, validateChain: inout Bool)
- (void)onTimestampFound:(int)index :(NSString*)entityLabel :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(BOOL)certFound :(int*)validateTimestamp :(int*)validateChain;

Remarks

This event fires for every timestamp identified during signature processing, and reports the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters.

The CertFound parameter is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the KnownCertificates property.

Just like with signature validation, timestamp validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the and properties respectively.

Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

TimestampRequest Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when the component is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA.

Syntax

func onTimestampRequest(tsa: String, timestampRequest: String, timestampResponse: inout String, suppressDefault: inout Bool)
- (void)onTimestampRequest:(NSString*)TSA :(NSString*)timestampRequest :(NSString**)timestampResponse :(int*)suppressDefault;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to intercept timestamp requests. You can use it to override timestamping requests and perform them in your code.

The TSA parameter indicates the timestamping service being used. It matches the value passed to the TimestampServer property. Set the SuppressDefault parameter to false if you would like to stop the built-in TSA request from going ahead. The built-in TSA request is also not performed if the returned TimestampResponse parameter is not empty.

TimestampValidated Event (PDFSigner Module)

Reports the completion of the timestamp validation routine.

Syntax

func onTimestampValidated(index: Int32, entityLabel: String, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, time: String, validationResult: Int32, chainValidationResult: Int32, chainValidationDetails: Int32, cancel: inout Bool)
- (void)onTimestampValidated:(int)index :(NSString*)entityLabel :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(NSString*)time :(int)validationResult :(int)chainValidationResult :(int)chainValidationDetails :(int*)cancel;

Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the timestamp validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

ValidationResult is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a failure.

svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

TLSCertNeeded Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

func onTLSCertNeeded(host: String, caNames: String)
- (void)onTLSCertNeeded:(NSString*)host :(NSString*)CANames;

Remarks

This event fires to notify the implementation that a remote TLS server has requested a client certificate. The Host parameter identifies the host that makes a request, and the CANames parameter (optional, according to the TLS spec) advises on the accepted issuing CAs.

Use the TLSClientChain property in response to this event to provide the requested certificate. Please make sure the client certificate includes the associated private key. Note that you may set the certificates before the connection without waiting for this event to fire.

This event is preceded by the TLSHandshake event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the TLSEstablished event.

TLSCertValidate Event (PDFSigner Module)

This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.

Syntax

func onTLSCertValidate(serverHost: String, serverIP: String, accept: inout Bool)
- (void)onTLSCertValidate:(NSString*)serverHost :(NSString*)serverIP :(int*)accept;

Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general, classes may contact a number of TLS endpoints during their work, depending on their configuration.

Accept is assigned in accordance with the outcome of the internal validation check performed by the class, and can be adjusted if needed.

TLSEstablished Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

func onTLSEstablished(host: String, version: String, ciphersuite: String, connectionId: Data, abort: inout Bool)
- (void)onTLSEstablished:(NSString*)host :(NSString*)version :(NSString*)ciphersuite :(NSData*)connectionId :(int*)abort;

Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application about a successful completion of a TLS handshake.

The Version, Ciphersuite, and ConnectionId parameters indicate the security parameters of the new connection. Use the Abort parameter if you need to terminate the connection at this stage.

TLSHandshake Event (PDFSigner Module)

Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.

Syntax

func onTLSHandshake(host: String, abort: inout Bool)
- (void)onTLSHandshake:(NSString*)host :(int*)abort;

Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application about the start of a new TLS handshake to Host. If the handshake is successful, this event will be followed by the TLSEstablished event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the TLSCertNeeded event will also be fired.

TLSShutdown Event (PDFSigner Module)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

func onTLSShutdown(host: String)
- (void)onTLSShutdown:(NSString*)host;

Remarks

This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

Certificate Type

Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.

Remarks

This type keeps and provides access to X.509 certificate details.

The following fields are available:

Fields

bytes
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

ca
Bool

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

caKeyID
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. CertificateManager generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

certType
CertTypes (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

A Certificate object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the CertificateManager class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

crlDistributionPoints
String

Default Value: ""

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this property when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

curve
String

Default Value: ""

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

fingerprint
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

friendlyName
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

handle
Int64

Default Value: 0

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

hashAlgorithm
String

Default Value: ""

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

String

Default Value: ""

A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate issuer.

Example: /C=US/O=Nationwide CA/CN=Web Certification Authority

Use the , , and properties to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

keyBits
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

This value indicates the length of the principal cryptographic parameter of the key, such as the length of the RSA modulus or ECDSA field. The key data returned by the or property would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

keyFingerprint
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.

Note that the key fingerprint is different from the certificate fingerprint accessible via the property. The key fingeprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

keyUsage
Int32

Default Value: 0

Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.

This value is a bit mask of the following values:

ckuUnknown0x00000Unknown key usage

ckuDigitalSignature0x00001Digital signature

ckuNonRepudiation0x00002Non-repudiation

ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth0x10000Kerberos - client authentication

ckuKeyPurposeKDC0x20000Kerberos - KDC

Set this property before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

keyValid
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.

ocspLocations
String

Default Value: ""

Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.

Set this property before calling the certificate manager's Generate method to propagate it to the new certificate.

The OCSP locations are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

ocspNoCheck
Bool

Default Value: False

Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.

origin
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.

policyIDs
String

Default Value: ""

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.

Set this property when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.

The policies are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the policy element separator.

privateKeyBytes
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this property to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.

privateKeyExists
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to True, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.

This property is independent from , and can be set to True even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.

privateKeyExtractable
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

publicKeyBytes
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.

This typically would contain an ASN.1-encoded public key value. The exact format depends on the type of the public key contained in the certificate.

qualified
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.

This property is set to True if the certificate is confirmed by a Trusted List to be qualified.

qualifiedStatements
QualifiedStatementsTypes

Default Value: 0

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

qualifiers
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

A list of qualifiers.

Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD.

selfSigned
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.

serialNumber
Data

Default Value: ""

Returns the certificate's serial number.

The serial number is a binary string that uniquely identifies a certificate among others issued by the same CA. According to the X.509 standard, the (issuer, serial number) pair should be globally unique to facilitate chain building.

sigAlgorithm
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate.

A signature algorithm typically combines hash and public key algorithms together, such as sha256WithRSAEncryption or ecdsa-with-SHA256.

source
PKISources (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.

subject
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via .

subjectAlternativeName
String

Default Value: ""

Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.

Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.

The alternative names are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the element separator.

subjectKeyID
Data

Default Value: ""

Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.

Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.

The and properties of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.

subjectRDN
String

Default Value: ""

A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject).

Depending on the purpose of the certificate and the policies of the CA that issued it, the values included in the subject record may differ drastically and contain business or personal names, web URLs, email addresses, and other data.

Example: /C=US/O=Oranges and Apples, Inc./OU=Accounts Receivable/1.2.3.4.5=Value with unknown OID/CN=Margaret Watkins.

valid
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether or not the signature over the certificate or the request is valid and matches the public key contained in the CA certificate/request.

validFrom
String

Default Value: ""

The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC.

validTo
String

Default Value: ""

The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC.

Constructors

public init(stream: )

Loads the X.509 certificate from a stream. Stream is a stream containing the certificate data.

public init()

Creates a new object with default field values.

CRL Type

Represents a Certificate Revocation List.

Remarks

CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.

Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.

Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.

The following fields are available:

Fields

bytes
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns the raw CRL data in DER format.

caKeyID
Data

Default Value: ""

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's private key, if present in the CRL.

entryCount
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the number of certificate status entries in the CRL.

handle
Int64

Default Value: 0

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

issuer
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

The common name of the CRL issuer (CA), typically a company name.

issuerRDN
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

A collection of information, in the form of [OID, Value] pairs, uniquely identifying the CRL issuer.

location
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Default Value: 0

Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.

tbs
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

The to-be-signed part of the CRL (the CRL without the signature part).

thisUpdate
String

Default Value: ""

The date and time at which this version of the CRL was published.

Constructors

public init()

Creates an empty CRL object.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

Remarks

External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.

The following fields are available:

Fields

asyncDocumentID
String

Default Value: ""

Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.

Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.

If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

customParams
String

Default Value: ""

Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).

data
String

Default Value: ""

Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.

externalHashCalculation
Bool

Default Value: False

Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class.

If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.

hashAlgorithm
String

Default Value: "SHA256"

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

keyID
String

Default Value: ""

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

keySecret
String

Default Value: ""

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

psacNone0No changes are allowed by the signature
psacFillInForms1Only form fill-in is allowed
psacComment2Commenting is allowed
psacAll3Form fill-in and commenting are allowed

authorName
String

Default Value: ""

A human-readable signer name. This is a PDF document property.

certification
Bool

Default Value: False

Specifies whether this is a Certification (MDP) signature.

Certification signatures are a feature used by earlier Acrobat versions. They have little use these days.

chainValidationDetails
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

The details of a certificate chain validation outcome. They may often suggest the reasons that contributed to the overall validation result.

Returns a bit mask of the following options:

cvrBadData0x0001One or more certificates in the validation path are malformed

cvrRevoked0x0002One or more certificates are revoked

cvrNotYetValid0x0004One or more certificates are not yet valid

cvrExpired0x0008One or more certificates are expired

cvrUnknownCA0x0020A CA certificate for one or more certificates has not been found (chain incomplete)

cvrCAUnauthorized0x0040One of the CA certificates are not authorized to act as CA

cvrCRLNotVerified0x0080One or more CRLs could not be verified

cvrOCSPNotVerified0x0100One or more OCSP responses could not be verified

cvrIdentityMismatch0x0200The identity protected by the certificate (a TLS endpoint or an e-mail addressee) does not match what is recorded in the certificate

cvrNoKeyUsage0x0400A mandatory key usage is not enabled in one of the chain certificates

cvrBlocked0x0800One or more certificates are blocked

cvrFailure0x1000General validation failure

cvrChainLoop0x2000Chain loop: one of the CA certificates recursively signs itself

cvrWeakAlgorithm0x4000A weak algorithm is used in one of certificates or revocation elements

cvrUserEnforced0x8000The chain was considered invalid following intervention from a user code

chainValidationResult
ChainValidities (read-only)

Default Value: 0

The outcome of a certificate chain validation routine.

Available options:

cvtValid0The chain is valid

cvtValidButUntrusted1The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted

cvtInvalid2The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature)

cvtCantBeEstablished3The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses)

Use the ValidationLog property to access the detailed validation log.

claimedSigningTime
String

Default Value: ""

Returns or sets the signature's creation time.

Use this property to get or set the signature creation time from the signer's computer. The claimed time, unlike , does not originate from a trusted TSA and may be forfeited or wrong.

The time is provided in UTC.

compatibilityErrors
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns compatibility errors encountered during validation.

Use this property to get specific compatibility errors encountered during validation. Unlike chain validation details, compatibility errors indicate violations by the signature of the assumed signature level/profile. For example, BES signatures are required to contain the signing time attribute. A prospective BES signature without such attribute will invoke a compatibility error.

contactInfo
String

Default Value: ""

Contains the signer's contact information. This is a PDF document property.

containsLongTermInfo
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Returns true if the signature was found to contain long-term validation details (certificates, CRLs, and OCSP response).

coverageEndsAt
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Indicates the offset in the PDF file where signature coverage ends.

PDF generators often use incremental updates to make changes in the 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. Alternatively, use the GetSignedVersion method of the PDFVerifier class to extract the exact revision that was signed.

customData
Data

Default Value: ""

Uninterpreted custom data to save with the signature.

emptyField
Bool

Default Value: False

Indicates whether or not the signature created/read is an empty field (a signature placeholder).

entityLabel
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Use this property to get the signature entity label.

This property returns a string label that uniquely identifies the signature. The label can be used to establish the signature target in the SignatureFound event or to select the signing chain via the SelectInfo method.

filterName
String

Default Value: ""

The signature filter name.

fullSignatureName
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Specifies the full name of the signature field.

This is an internal identifier of a signature (such as Signature1) and is not meant to be human-readable.

handle
Int64

Default Value: 0

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

hashAlgorithm
String

Default Value: "SHA256"

Specifies the hash algorithm to be used for signing.

Default Value: 2

Specifies the PAdES signature level.

PAdES standard defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures which can be used for different purposes.

Note that when validating a signature, the LTV modifier may be affected by the validation settings. These include OfflineMode (set it to true to obtain the clean LTV capability) and certificate caching (switch it off to stop earlier validations from affecting the current validation).
