DigitalSignature.Core 1.0.0

DigitalSignature.NetCore

A robust digital signature library for .NET Core applications, providing comprehensive functionality for PDF signing and certificate management.

Features

• Create and manage X.509 certificates with both RSA and ECDSA keys
• Sign PDF documents with digital certificates
• Verify PDF signatures and detect modifications
• Create certificate hierarchies (Root CA, Intermediate CA, Leaf certificates)
• Export certificates and keys to PEM format
• Handle PKCS#12 (.pfx) certificate stores

Installation

dotnet add package DigitalSignature.NetCore

Quick Start

Create a Certificate and Sign a PDF

using DigitalSignature.Core.Helpers;

// Create a self-signed certificate
var certificateStore = Pkcs12Helper.CreateRsaRootCertificate(
 "Signer Certificate", 
 "password123", 
 keySize: 2048, 
 validityYears: 1);

// Sign a PDF document
PdfSignerHelper.SignPdf(
 "input.pdf",
 "signed.pdf",
 certificateStore,
 "Signer Certificate", 
 reason: "Document Approval",
 location: "New York");

Verify a Signed PDF

using DigitalSignature.Core.Helpers;

// Validate all signatures in the PDF
var validation = PdfSignerHelper.ValidateAllSignatures("signed.pdf");
if (validation.IsValid)
{
 Console.WriteLine("The document is valid and has not been modified since signing.");
}
else
{
 Console.WriteLine($"Signature validation failed: {validation.ErrorMessage}");
}

Create a Certificate Hierarchy

using DigitalSignature.Core.Helpers;
using System.Collections.Generic;

// Create a certificate hierarchy (root CA, intermediate, leaf)
var hierarchy = new List<Pkcs12Helper.CertificateSpec>
{
 new Pkcs12Helper.CertificateSpec
 {
 FriendlyName = "root",
 CommonName = "Root CA",
 Password = "password123",
 IsCA = true,
 IsRsa = true,
 KeySize = 4096,
 ValidityYears = 10
 },
 new Pkcs12Helper.CertificateSpec
 {
 FriendlyName = "intermediate",
 CommonName = "Intermediate CA",
 Password = "password123",
 IsCA = true,
 IsRsa = true,
 KeySize = 3072,
 ValidityYears = 5
 },
 new Pkcs12Helper.CertificateSpec
 {
 FriendlyName = "leaf",
 CommonName = "End Entity Certificate",
 Password = "password123",
 IsCA = false,
 IsRsa = true,
 KeySize = 2048,
 ValidityYears = 1
 }
};

var certificates = Pkcs12Helper.BuildCertificateHierarchy(hierarchy);
