The trouble with signing via ca/cert/key PEM files is that usually the CA is not trusted by the received of the signature. 3rd-party services are available to do generate trusted signatures, but then you need to share your document with them, which can be also problematic. A middle-ground here is to sign the hash of the document by a 3rd-party, something that's supported by e.g. <https://docs.eideasy.com/electronic-signatures/api-flow-with-file-hashes-pdf.html> (which itself aggregates a number of providers). As a first step, add LOK API to get what would be the signature time during signing -- but instead of actually signing, just return this information. Once the same is done with the doc hash, this is supposed to provide the same info than what the reference <https://github.com/eideasy/eideasy-external-pades-digital-signatures> app does. This is only a start: incrementally replace XCertificate with SignatureContext, which allows aborting the signing right before calling into NSS, and also later it'll allow injecting the PKCS#7 object we get from the 3rd-party.

Document Signing
Introduction
This code provides dialogs, and infrastructure wrapping libxmlsec
and
gpgme
that implements document signing.
For signing a document, a personal key pair is used, which consists of a private key and a public key, which is added to the document in addition to the digital signature of the document, when signing it.
The document signing can be done both for the source ODF/OOXML files and the exported PDF files. It is also possible to sign existing PDF files.
Module Contents
doc
: OpenDocument workflow legacy information with some illustrations to have an idea of the workflow, for starters checkdoc/OpenDocumentSignatures-Workflow.odt
.inc
: Headers to a subset of source files inside the module, parts likesource/framework
have headers inside the folder.qa
: Unit tests for signing and shell scripts for certificates creation for testing.test_docs
: Documents & certificates used for testing.source
: More on that below.uiconfig
: User interface configuration for different dialogs, it is recommended to navigate from relevant source file to the .ui file linked in the class which will be underuiconfig/ui
.util
: UNO passive registration config for GPG/ NSS.

PDF Testing
To test the signed PDFs, one can use the pdfverify
in this way:
./bin/run pdfverify $PWD/xmlsecurity/qa/unit/pdfsigning/data/2good.pdf
The file parameter should be an absolute path.
This is the output of pdfverify
for 2good.pdf
:
