java.lang.Objectorg.faceless.pdf2.SignatureHandler
public abstract class SignatureHandler
This class is the baseline handler for all digital signatures - it could
theoretically be used for any type of signature, using biometrics, public/private
key and so on. Two main implementations are provided with this package, those
returned by AcrobatSignatureHandlerFactory
and thoe returned by the
DSE200HandlerFactory
. Typically an object of this type will be a
PKCS7SignatureHandler
.
For 99% of users, it is enough to look at the examples in the FormSignature
API
documentation, which details how to sign and verify documents using the standard
handlers. For those wanting to write their own signature handlers however, read on.
The SignatureHandler class has several methods which need to be implemented by concrete
implementations of this class. They are at a minimum getFilter()
, the verify()
method (if the handler is to be used to verify signatures), and/or the
prepareToSign()
, getMessageDigest()
and sign()
methods
if the handler is to be used to sign signatures.
In addition, when signing if the signature is to have a visible appearance on the page,
something useful should be returned from getLayerNames()
and
getLayerAppearance()
.
The idea behind the handler is that when signing, first any annotations associated with the
signature are created and filled using the values returned from the
getLayerAppearance()
method. Then the prepareToSign()
method is
called, which should set all the values in the "V" dictionary and generally do everything
required to set up the signature in preparation for signing. Finally the sign()
method
is called, it's return value is stored in the "Contents" field.
The SignatureHandler works in a similar way to the EncryptionHandler
class. There
are a number of get...Value
and put...Value
methods which can
be used to get/set values in the "V" dictionary of the Signature dictionary. See the
discussion in the EncryptionHandler
class documentation for details on how these
methods work. As an example, the SelfSign handler includes the following lines in it's
prepareToSign()
method:
putNameValue("Filter", "Adobe.PPKLite"); putNameValue("SubFilter", "adbe.x509.rsa_sha1"); putNumericValue("R", 65539); putStringValue("Cert", certificatebytearray);
As a slightly more complicated example, to add
/MyArray [ 100 << /Type /MyHandler >> ]
to the "V" dictionary, just do:
putArrayValue("MyArray"); putNumericValue("MyArray.0", 100); putDictionaryValue("MyArray.1"); putNameValue("MyArray.1.Type", "MyHandler");
The getFilter()
method should return an appropriate value - so again, the SelfSign
handler will return the string "Adobe.PPKLite".
For a concrete example of a working, if somewhat brain-dead signature handler, see the
DummySignatureHandler.java
example, supplied with the download package.

public Map getVariables() throws GeneralSecurityException
Return the list of "variables" which will be set by the handler after the
PDF is rendered. Entries in the returned map should have a String
as a key and a SignatureHandler.Placeholder
as a value. These placeholders will be
inserted into the PDF at the correct points.
For most SignatureHandlers, the only variables are the "ByteRange" and "Contents" array containing the signature token, which is what this method returns (it may be overridden if more variables are required).
This method was updated for a new signing architecture in release 2.11.12.

protected byte[] sign() throws GeneralSecurityException, IOException
Finish the digest calculation on the digest returned from getMessageDigest()
and return a signature token the signs it. The returned byte array will be stored
as the "Contents" value of the Signature dictionary.
As well as being called to perform the actual signing, the default behaviour of the
getVariables()
method is also to call this method with an empty digest, to
determine the size of the token to store in the PDF (the getMessageDigest()
method is called twice as well). This can be overridden, by calling
AcrobatSignatureHandlerFactory.setContentSize(int)
for handlers created by that
factory or, if you're implementing a custom signature handler, by writing your own
getVariables()
method.
