  com.qoppa.pdf.SignatureValidity

public class SignatureValidity
extends Object

This class returns information about the validity of a signature within the PDF document. To determine whether a signature is completely valid, the host application can call the isAllValid() method. If isAllValid returns false, the application can call isValidWithWarning() to determine if the signature is valid but has warnings or isNotValid() to determine if the signature is not valid at all.

The host application can use any of the is...() methods to determine the cause of the signature status and it can also call getValidityText() to get a textual description of the signature status.

SignatureValidity

public SignatureValidity()

Method Detail

isValidCertificateChain

public boolean isValidCertificateChain()

Returns the status of the certificate chain validity.

Returns:

true if the certificate chain is valid, false o.w.

setValidCertificateChain

public void setValidCertificateChain(boolean validCertificateChain)

Sets the status of the certificate chain validity. This method is used internally by the library when verifying a signature.

Parameters:

validCertificateChain - The status of the certificate chain validity.

isValidRevocationList

public boolean isValidRevocationList()

Returns the status of the revocation list validity. When this is false, at least one of the certificates in the certificate chain has been revoked.

Returns:

true if none of the certificates has been revoked.

setValidRevocationList

public void setValidRevocationList(boolean validRevocationList)

Sets the status of the revocation list validity. This method is used internally by the library when verifying a signature.

Parameters:

validRevocationList - The status of the revocation list validity.

isValidSignatureHash

public boolean isValidSignatureHash()

Returns a flag indicating whether the stored signature hash matches the calculated signature hash.

Returns:

true if the stored signature hash matches the calculated signature hash.

setValidSignatureHash

public void setValidSignatureHash(boolean validSignatureHash)

Sets the flag that indicates that the stored signature hash matches the calculated signature hash. This method is used internally by the library when verifying a signature.

Parameters:

validSignatureHash - Whether the signature hashes match.

isValidTimestamp

public boolean isValidTimestamp()

Returns a flag indicating whether the signature has a valid timestamp.

Returns:

true if the signature has a valid timestamp.

setValidTimestamp

public void setValidTimestamp(boolean validTimestamp)

Sets the valid timestamp flag. This method is used internally by the library when verifying a signature.

Parameters:

validTimestamp - The new value of the valid timestamp flag.

isAllValid

public boolean isAllValid()

Checks if the signature is completely valid. The signature is completely valid if it passes all checks:

- There were no errors reading and decoding the signature. - The stored signature hash matches the calculated signature hash. - There were no errors reading the certificate chain. - None of the certificates in the certificate chain are revoked. - The start and expiration dates are valid. - The signature timestamp is valid. - The certificate chain starts with a trusted CA. - No content changed or appended to the document. - The key usage is valid.

Returns:

true if the signature is completely valid, false o.w.

isValidWithWarning

public boolean isValidWithWarning()

Returns true if the signature is considered valid but has warnings associated with it. When this method returns false, it is equivalent to the condition where a viewer would display a question mark on the signature.

Returns:

true If the signature is completely valid or it is valid but has warnings.

isNotValid

public boolean isNotValid()

This method checks if the signature is considered NOT VALID. A signature is not valid under the following conditions:

- There was an error decoding the signature.
- The stored signature hash does not match the calculated signature hash (isValidSignatureHash() == false)
- One of the certificates in the signature has been revoked (isValidRevocationList() == false)
- There was an exception reading the certificate chain in the signature (isValidCertificateChain() == false)
- The key usage is invalid

Returns:

true if the signature is NOT VALID, false o.w.

isValidExpiration

public boolean isValidExpiration()

Gets the value of the valid expiration flag. This flag indicates whether the start and expiration dates on the signature are valid and within range.

Returns:

The value of the expiration flag.

setValidExpiration

public void setValidExpiration(boolean validExpiration)

Sets the value of the expiration flag. This method is used internally by the library when verifying a signature.

Parameters:

validExpiration - The new value of the expiration flag.

isTrustedChain

public boolean isTrustedChain()

Gets the value of the trusted chain flag. This flag indicates whether the chain of certificates in the signature starts with a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA)

Returns:

The value of the trusted chain flag.

setTrustedChain

public void setTrustedChain(boolean trustedChain)

Sets the value of the trusted chain flag. This method is used internally by the library when verifying a signature.

Parameters:

trustedChain - The new value of the trusted chain flag.

drawSmallIcon

public void drawSmallIcon(Graphics2D g2d)

Draws a small icon that reflects the validity state of the signature. The icon can be a green checkmark if the signature is completely valid, a question mark if the signature is valid but has warnings or a red X if the signature is not valid.

Parameters:

g2d - The graphics object on which to draw the icon.

getLargeIcon

public Icon getLargeIcon()

Returns an Icon that will draw the status of the signature with the same rules as drawSmallIcon().

- Green check mark when the signature is valid. - Blue question mark when the signature has some warnings. - Red X when the signature is invalid.

getSmallIcon

public Icon getSmallIcon()

getValidityText

public String getValidityText()
